Mother Found Dead in General Rodríguez, Ex-Partner Detained

Prosecutors say forensic findings alongside children's testimony support an aggravated homicide case awaiting autopsy results.

Overview

  • The body of 30-year-old Estefanía Crystal Monzón was found Wednesday during expanded searches and her remains were taken to the judicial morgue for an autopsy.
  • Iván Lencina, the man who lived with Monzón, was detained at the scene and is formally accused by the UFI Nº9 of aggravated homicide by close relationship.
  • Police Científica reported Luminol-positive stains inside the property and noted injuries on the suspect, and investigators used tracking dogs during the search.
  • Monzón’s three daughters were interviewed in Cámara Gesell and reportedly described episodes of violence against their mother, and neighbors later staged a march on Route 7 demanding justice.
  • The fiscal in charge, Alejandra Rodríguez, plans a formal indagatoria of the suspect once preliminary autopsy results are available as the inquiry continues to resolve where the body was concealed.
