Overview
- A court-ordered psychiatric evaluation concluded that Matías Jurado understood the criminality of his acts and could direct his actions, undercutting an insanity defense.
- The upcoming hearing will formally attribute the killing of Juan Carlos González and place Jurado under prosecution for five aggravated homicides in San Salvador de Jujuy.
- Police searches of Jurado’s Alto Comedero home recovered blood, bones, clothing and tools, with genetic testing confirming matches to five missing men.
- Two DNA profiles found in the residence remain unidentified and will undergo further comparison, with investigators exploring possible links to people reported missing abroad.
- Jurado remains isolated in the Gorriti prison, and prosecutors may seek to extend his preventive detention as forensic work continues.
