Overview

• The victims — Brenda del Castillo, 20, Morena Verdi, 20, and Lara Morena Gutiérrez, 15 — were identified by their families after their bodies were found buried in a backyard in Florencio Varela early Wednesday.
• Authorities say the three boarded an adulterated white pickup at the La Tablada roundabout Friday night for a supposed event, with cellphone data later placing them in Florencio Varela around 23:14.
• At the searched house, investigators reported bloodstains, a strong chlorine odor and disturbed soil, while forensic observations described extreme violence including a bag over a head, dismemberment and attempted burning, with autopsy results pending.
• Four people are detained on aggravated-homicide charges, including the property’s owners and a couple who said they were cleaning, and the pickup used to transport the victims was found incinerated about 100 meters from the home.
• PROCUNAR and multi-jurisdictional DDI teams are coordinating under secrecy of sumario to identify additional material and intellectual authors, with investigators citing a likely narco revenge motive that remains under investigation.
