Forensic Expert Details Hours-Long Incineration in Cecilia Strzyzowski Trial

Forensic testimony identified a single adult victim, with DNA ruled out and closing arguments expected next week.

Overview

  • Forensic anthropologist Anahí Ginarte told jurors the recovered bones belonged to one adult woman and showed calcination from exposure to temperatures above 800°C for roughly three to seven hours.
  • Ginarte said the heat damage made DNA extraction impossible, preventing a definitive genetic identification.
  • Investigators found burned human remains at the Sena family pig farm known as Campo Rossi, and police later recovered additional burned bones near the Río Tragadero.
  • The family's lawyer alleged that César Sena carried out the killing with help from his parents, Emerenciano Sena and Marcela Acuña, while four others remain charged with aggravated concealment.
  • Witnesses described close access and post-crime maneuvers, including copied house keys and a phone later handed to authorities, and a neighbor testified in support of an alibi for two concealment suspects as the case moves toward jury deliberations.
