Unanimous Jury Convicts Sena Family in Cecilia Strzyzowski Femicide

The unanimous verdict carries life terms for the three family members, with penalties for the collaborators to follow in a separate hearing.

Overview

  • César Sena was found guilty as the principal perpetrator of double‑aggravated homicide by kinship and gender‑based violence, and his parents, Emerenciano Sena and Marcela Acuña, were convicted as primary participants.
  • Gustavo Obregón and Fabiana González were convicted of aggravated cover‑up and Gustavo Melgarejo of simple cover‑up, while Griselda Reynoso was acquitted and released.
  • The 12 jurors deliberated for more than a day, remained encapsulated overnight due to the case’s sensitivity, and returned a unanimous verdict.
  • Prosecutors outlined a reconstruction that the victim’s body was moved from the Sena home and incinerated at the Campo Rossi site, supported by forensic analysis of heavily calcined bone fragments.
  • A cesura hearing to set sentences for the cover‑up convictions will be held within 10 business days, public demonstrations followed the verdict, and defense appeals are expected.
