Nancy Godoy Confirmed Killed in Corrientes, Five People Detained

Preliminary autopsy points to stab wounds in a suspected sexual femicide, triggering tougher criminal probes plus an administrative review of rural school oversight.

Overview

  • The Ministerio Público Fiscal officially confirmed the remains found near Escuela N° 626 belong to 52-year-old teacher Nancy Godoy and police have detained five people connected to the case.
  • Preliminary autopsy results indicate death from stab wounds and the querella's main hypothesis is that Godoy suffered a sexual attack, while forensic teams are still analyzing cellphone data and other evidence.
  • Godoy had been serving as a substitute director since August and had repeatedly complained in written reports and chats about severe infrastructure neglect at the isolated El Malezal school before her disappearance.
  • The provincial Ministry of Education opened a 72-hour internal sumario for a supervisor and a former school director and proposed a plan to relocalize very small rural schools to address safety and staffing problems.
  • Teachers and unions staged a national day of mourning, strikes and protests to demand safer working conditions, better infrastructure and clearer accountability after the case highlighted vulnerabilities in Corrientes's 866 rural schools.
