Overview
- In Lambayeque, Peru, a judge ordered nine months of preventive detention for Arnold Antonio Segura Guevara, accused of killing his mother and grandmother with a machete and injuring his uncle.
- Peruvian prosecutors said they will seek a 35-year prison sentence, and the 24-year-old will be held at the Chiclayo prison during the investigation.
- In Salta, Argentina, during closing arguments, prosecutor Gabriel González requested life imprisonment for Michel Jesús Suárez and José María Enrique Chávez Herrera for the February 2024 murders of brothers Roberto and Néstor Suárez.
- The Argentine case is framed as a planned robbery, with the prosecution also seeking to revoke a prior conditional sentence and to place any convicts in the national genetic data registry, with a verdict expected later today.
- Court evidence in Argentina includes forensic reconstruction and conflicting defendant accounts, with Michel Suárez admitting he went to rob and blaming Chávez Herrera, who in turn attributed the killings to Suárez.
