Overview
- Police secured the boat near Sauce Viejo after neighbors reported it drifting at midday, and Prefectura Naval assisted at the scene.
- Forensic teams reported multiple shotgun-compatible wounds and recovered lead cartridges indicating a close-range attack.
- Authorities said the victims remain unidentified, with fingerprinting underway and efforts to trace the boat's registration.
- The homicide prosecutor ordered autopsies and seized the vessel and the bovine for analyses, including branding to determine the animal's origin.
- Investigators are not ruling out multiple attackers, and they note the river-island area has frequent livestock-theft reports that complicate reconstruction of the incident.
