Overview
- At a control-of-imputation hearing inside Jujuy’s Unidad Penal Nº 1, prosecutors expanded the case to four counts of aggravated homicide by ensañamiento, alevosía and by pleasure.
- Matías Emilio Jurado declared before authorities and denied all responsibility, after being shown CCTV footage, SUBE transit records and DNA findings that investigators say place him with the victims.
- Forensic work identified four genetic profiles linked to Jorge Omar Anachuri, Sergio Alejandro Sosa, Miguel Ángel Quispe and Juan José Ponce from traces recovered in the accused’s residence.
- Two additional DNA profiles remain unidentified, and the justice system requested samples from relatives of two missing persons for comparison as lab processing and camera analyses continue.
- Investigators still probe the disappearance of Juan Carlos González, whose phone last pinged near the suspect’s home, while a psychiatric evaluation by a Salta specialist continues to inform imputability.
