Jury Convicts Sena Family in Cecilia Strzyzowski Femicide

Sentencing will be set within days, with appeals expected.

Overview

  • César Sena was unanimously found guilty as the perpetrator of homicide doubly aggravated by the relationship and gender-based violence, and his parents Emerenciano Sena and Marcela Acuña were convicted as primary participants, exposing all three to life imprisonment.
  • Collaborators Gustavo Obregón and Fabiana González were convicted of aggravated cover-up and Gustavo Melgarejo of simple cover-up, while Griselda Reinoso was acquitted and released.
  • The 12 jurors deliberated over two days under an exceptional overnight encapsulation before delivering the unanimous verdict in Resistencia, Chaco.
  • Prosecutors relied on security footage of Cecilia entering the Sena home on June 2, 2023, testimony about bloodstained furniture removed from the house, and accounts of a partial incineration at Campo Rossi.
  • Hundreds gathered outside the court and thousands watched the livestream, and on Sunday residents marched in Resistencia as the case moves to a cesura hearing within roughly 10 business days.
