• Investigators say cousins Morena Verdi and Brenda del Castillo, both 20, and 15-year-old Lara Gutierrez were lured to a Florencio Varela house and later found buried in its yard.
• Officials state the torture and killings were shown to about 45 viewers in a closed social-media group as a warning linked to an alleged theft of several kilos of cocaine.
