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.
