Overview
- The body was discovered at a pig-breeding facility in Senillosa on August 3 and was found naked and in an advanced state of decomposition.
- Forensic dactyloscopic analysis later matched the prints to 46-year-old Mario Andrés Forquera, who had been reported missing after last being seen on July 5.
- Autopsy and complementary histopathology detected injuries consistent with criminal violence, leading the Ministerio Público Fiscal to treat the case as a homicide.
- Police and prosecutors carried out seven coordinated searches in Neuquén and Senillosa after analyzing phone records and security cameras, and three men aged 38, 39 and 45 were detained and formally charged with aggravated homicide with preventive detention ordered.
- Investigators say they recovered clothing from the farm and seized items including a double-barrel shotgun and phones while building forensic and communications evidence ahead of an imminent formulation-of-charges hearing.
