Overview

• Gender Violence Prosecutor Iván Ábalos notified Yamil Jesús Yunes, 31, of imputation for homicide doubly aggravated by the intimate bond and gender violence, a count that carries a life sentence.
• After leaving the mental-health ward at Hospital Schestakow, Yunes was taken to Comisaría Octava and is awaiting transfer to a penitentiary on Friday.
• A preliminary autopsy by the Cuerpo Médico Forense found the cause of death was asphyxia, and early claims of decapitation were dismissed with head injuries classified as perimortem.
• Investigators review witness statements, security-camera footage near the Fiat Fiorino where the body was found, and suspected bloodstains on the suspect’s clothing.
• The killing prompted large demonstrations and school closures in San Rafael, and authorities note it is the seventh femicide reported in Mendoza this year.
