This Friday, Córdoba police found Brenda Torres's torso and head in the Chateau Carreras neighborhood. It was in a house known as the "house of horror", just a few blocks from where other remains had already been found. During the operation, two men, allegedly acquaintances of the victim, were also arrested.
The officers acted at dawn following an order from prosecutor Horacio Vázquez, who is in charge of the investigation. The discovery took place at 574 Hornero Street, at a location pointed out days earlier by acquaintances. The bag containing the remains will be subjected to genetic analysis to confirm the identity.
The place had already been under suspicion by Brenda's circle, who had requested a search of the premises. According to reports, the three had gathered there before the crime. Security cameras recorded key movements both at that house and at the sites where the bags were discarded.
A macabre sequence that shocks Córdoba
The previous Friday, a security guard found a bag containing human arms near the Mario Kempes stadium. Days later, workers found other bags with legs in the vicinity of the same area. Early this morning, the discovery of the torso and head completed the body.
The strongest hypothesis suggests that Brenda was murdered inside the house where the new remains were found. Afterwards, the body was allegedly dismembered with precision, which suggests some anatomical knowledge. The prosecution doesn't rule out that it was a premeditated crime.
Family members expressed discomfort with how the information was handled. They claim they learned about it from the media and that they had requested a search of that house days earlier. They also questioned the lack of communication with the investigators.
