Jury Convicts Sena Family in Cecilia Strzyzowski Femicide

A sentencing hearing will fix penalties as the defenses prepare appeals.

Overview

  • After deliberating into a second day, a unanimous popular jury found César Sena guilty of double‑aggravated homicide and declared his parents, Emerenciano Sena and Marcela Acuña, primary participants in the crime.
  • Co-defendants Gustavo Obregón and Fabiana González were convicted of aggravated concealment, Gustavo Melgarejo of simple concealment, and Griselda Reynoso was acquitted and released.
  • Although the cesura stage to set penalties is pending, media and officials report the three principal defendants face life imprisonment, subject to formal sentencing.
  • Defense teams said they will appeal to the provincial Chamber and the Superior Court, while Judge Dolly Fernández oversees the upcoming penalty phase.
  • Hundreds rallied in Resistencia as reactions turned sharply political, with national officials amplifying partisan messages and the judge noting broad public fatigue with the Sena clan’s political ties.
