Prosecutors Confirm Four DNA Matches to Jurado, Seek Four Aggravated Homicide Counts

DNA recovered at Jurado’s house is driving the case despite the absence of bodies.

Overview

  • Investigators identified Jorge Omar Anachuri, Sergio Alejandro Sosa, Miguel Ángel Quispe and Juan José Ponce from genetic traces recovered at the Alto Comedero residence.
  • The fiscalía said the laboratory work produced 21 usable genetic profiles from 61 samples analyzed, with two DNA profiles still pending confirmation.
  • Prosecutor Guillermo Beller announced he will charge Matías Jurado with four aggravated homicides following the new matches and said locating intact bodies is unlikely.
  • Jurado remains in preventive detention at the Gorriti prison under isolation and video monitoring, and he has denied involvement in a recent hearing.
  • Authorities continue multidisciplinary searches and analyses with Gendarmería and the EAAF, while testimony from an adolescent nephew and other witnesses details a pattern of luring vulnerable men to the home.
