Sena Family Convicted in Cecilia Strzyzowski Femicide by Unanimous Jury

A forthcoming cesura hearing will fix penalties under charges that carry life imprisonment for the three core defendants.

Overview

  • Twelve citizen jurors in Resistencia delivered unanimous guilty verdicts after two days of deliberations under overnight isolation.
  • César Sena was found guilty as the author of homicide double‑aggravated by kinship and gender violence, while Marcela Acuña and Emerenciano Sena were convicted as primary participants.
  • Gustavo Obregón and Fabiana González were convicted of aggravated cover‑up, Gustavo Melgarejo of simple cover‑up, and Griselda Reynoso was acquitted and released immediately.
  • Sentencing will be set at an upcoming cesura hearing within the statutory window, with the homicide convictions carrying life terms under Argentine law.
  • Forensic evidence included testimony about calcined human remains exposed to extreme heat, CCTV of the victim’s last arrival at the Sena home, and blood‑stained items, as the case drew large public attention and relief from the victim’s family.
