Police Detain Suspect in Karina Palomino Killing After CCTV, Dog Clues

Clues from CCTV plus the victim’s dog led police to 46-year-old Manuel Norry for questioning.

Overview

  • Investigators identified Manuel Alberto Norry, 46, as the main suspect and arrested him Monday night after he returned from working at a Buenos Aires bar.
  • Prosecutor Adrián Arribas is set to take Norry’s statement as forensic work and witness interviews continue.
  • Security cameras helped reconstruct the attacker’s route, guiding police to a building linked to a friend of the victim.
  • Footage showed the victim’s dog trailing the assailant after the attack, which investigators view as a sign the attacker was someone she knew.
  • Authorities say jealousy is the leading hypothesis for motive and report the suspect had a parallel romantic relationship with the victim and access to large knives at work.
