Argentina: Serial Killer Dismembered Homeless People

In Argentina, a 37-year-old man faces criminal charges for the murder and dismemberment of five people in the province of Jujuy. The crimes allegedly took place at the defendant's home, on Fridays.

The accused is in custody and faces charges of multiple homicides with aggravating circumstances, as he allegedly acted with particular cruelty. The case has shocked the local community.

The investigation began after the disappearance of five people. Bones, blood, pieces of skin, and a human nose were found at the alleged perpetrator's home, according to Attorney General Sergio Lello Sánchez.

A 16-year-old, who introduced himself as the owner's nephew, testified that his uncle offered jobs to homeless people and invited them to his home. He then beat them, killed them, dismembered them, burned them, and threw them out in garbage bags.

The victims were marginalized people, homeless, and elderly. The investigation focuses on analyzing the human remains and collecting biological material from relatives of the missing for DNA comparisons.
