Overview

• Authorities are investigating the deaths of Lara Gutiérrez, Brenda del Castillo and Morena Verdi under the UFEM presumption of femicide in Florencio Varela.
• Autopsy findings and expert commentary describe extreme cruelty and messages inscribed on the victims’ bodies, a pattern associated with gendered violence in criminal contexts.
• Journalistic reports say the murders were streamed live to a closed group with at least 45 viewers, prompting questions about platform cooperation and digital evidence procedures.
• Demonstrations were held nationwide demanding justice and challenging media portrayals that cast the victims as less worthy of empathy.
• AMMAR leader Georgina Orellano ties the case to economic precarity and criminalization that heighten risks for sex workers and enable institutional abuse.
