Man Detained in La Plata on Attempted Femicide Charges After Partner Found Unconscious

The case advances under UFI N°3 with formal charges for gender‑based attempted homicide.

Overview

  • Police responding Friday night in Abasto found a 30-year-old woman semi-unconscious with head injuries in a ditch.
  • A retired nurse administered CPR until SAME crews transported her to Hospital Alejandro Korn, where she was stabilized and is reported out of immediate danger.
  • The alleged attacker resisted with a metal bar, injured two officers during a struggle, and was subdued, and investigators seized two large irons as evidence.
  • UFI N°3 converted the apprehension to detention and imputed attempted homicide in a context of gender violence, along with atentado, resistance to authority, and injuries.
  • The suspect was presented for indagatoria and declined to testify, and one outlet identified him as Orlando Da Silva, 51, while reports differ on whether the scene was at 206 y 522 or 207 y 522.
