Robbery Ruled Out in Lomas del Mirador Stabbing as Police Hunt Killer

An autopsy determined a fatal 12-centimeter neck wound.

Overview

  • Janet Karina Arotinco Palomino, 44 and of Peruvian nationality, was attacked just before 7 a.m. on Huergo 1600 in Lomas del Mirador and died at the scene after calling for help.
  • Neighborhood security video shows a man change direction to follow her across the street, with images capturing him carrying a backpack moments before the assault.
  • An autopsy ordered by prosecutor Carlos Adrián Arribas found a deep neck wound that caused hypovolemic shock, along with additional cuts to the chest.
  • Investigators ruled out theft as a motive because the victim still had her phone, cash, SUBE card, keys, and jewelry.
  • The assailant fled and remains unidentified as provincial police and the GTO unit review cameras and witness accounts to map both the victim’s path and the attacker’s escape.
