Triple Femicide in Florencio Varela Tied to Narco ‘Trap,’ Four Detained

Investigators describe a preplanned revenge by a network based in Villa 1‑11‑14, pursuing a Peruvian leader suspected of ordering the attack.

Overview

  • Police recovered and identified the bodies of Brenda del Castillo, Morena Verdi and Lara Morena Gutiérrez, found buried in a backyard at a Florencio Varela house raided after phone and camera tracking.
  • Four suspects are in custody on aggravated homicide charges as authorities seek additional members of the gang, including an alleged Peruvian capo linked to Villa 1‑11‑14 and Zavaleta.
  • The security minister said the torture and killings were live‑streamed to a closed Instagram group in a disciplinary display ordered by the gang’s leader, a claim now under investigation.
  • Forensic findings indicate extreme torture, sexual violence and dismemberment, and investigators cite premeditation evidenced by a pit dug hours before the crime and a burned Chevrolet Tracker with an adulterated plate.
  • PROCUNAR joined the case, which remains under secrecy of sumario, and officials report ongoing raids and searches while provincial leaders call attention to cross‑jurisdiction narco operations.
