Rosario Ex-Partner Held in Acid Attack as San Martín Street Burning Leaves Woman Dead

Prosecutors are building the cases using medical files, forensic exams, security video.

Overview

  • A judge in Rosario ordered 90 days of preventive detention for Leonardo S., who was imputed for aggravated serious injuries and unlawful deprivation of liberty in a gender-violence context.
  • Judge Rodrigo Santana also mandated a forensic psychiatric evaluation of the accused as the Ministerio Público de la Acusación advances the case.
  • Prosecutors say the 36-year-old victim escaped captivity on August 22, later sought care at HECA, and presented first- and second-degree burns plus head injuries confirmed by forensic review.
  • The Rosario victim had previously filed a January 2024 case for threats and injuries, and prosecutor Guillermina Torno said she reestablished contact with the accused out of fear.
  • In San Martín, security cameras captured the street attack on Ana Clara Luna, 31, who suffered burns to about 70% of her body and died hours later, as investigators pursue a homicide/femicide inquiry using video and witness testimony, with local reports citing drug-use factors under review.
