Overview

  • Cyclists discovered more than a dozen decapitated and dismembered animals, including dogs, sheep and pigs, in the reserve between Saturday night and Sunday morning.
  • Park rangers notified the local police detachment and Fundación Planeta Vivo after being alerted by cyclists to the grisly scene described by staff as a massacre.
  • Officers from the Buenos Aires Scientific Police secured a large blade at the site that investigators believe could be the murder weapon.
  • Forensic analysts have begun examining the seized evidence as the main hypothesis shifts toward a nocturnal ritual killing.
  • The absence of witnesses and security cameras in the remote park is complicating efforts to identify suspects or establish a precise timeline.
