La Derecha Diario Repugnant: woman arrested for stabbing her son to death in Río Cuarto
The woman is in custody and charged with aggravated homicide. The minor was found dead in his home
The murder of a 14-year-old teenager in Barrio Obrero has shaken the community of Río Cuarto. His 47-year-old mother is accused of stabbing him. The incident occurred Wednesday night and the investigation is ongoing.
According to prosecutor Pablo Jávega, authorities are considering two hypotheses regarding the origin of the attack. One points to a violent argument and the other to a possible psychotic episode. The woman remains in custody and key medical examinations are expected to determine her criminal responsibility.
Investigators are seeking to establish whether the mother suffered from a pre-existing mental disorder. It has emerged that she had a medical history, but there is no official confirmation. The case remains under seal as evidence progresses.
The discovery of the body
The minor was found dead inside his home by police officers. A neighbor reportedly alerted authorities after hearing strange noises. Upon arrival, officers encountered a scene marked by horror and a woman in a state of shock.
Initial reports indicate that the mother may have fallen asleep under medication. Upon waking, she would have seen her son's body surrounded by blood. According to the prosecutor, it has not yet been confirmed whether she was the one who called the father or the police.
The wounds on the victim's body would indicate the use of a bladed weapon. Items compatible with knives were found in the home. The autopsy will determine with precision the mechanics of the crime and the characteristics of the injuries.
A complex case with legal implications
The woman is charged with aggravated homicide due to the relationship, according to the prosecutor's office. Her procedural situation will depend on the results of psychiatric examinations. If a disorder is confirmed, she could be declared not criminally responsible.
In that case, the court will have to consider possible institutionalization instead of a criminal sentence. If mental illness is ruled out, the accused would face a severe penalty. The Penal Code provides for life imprisonment for this type of homicide.
The crime has brought attention to the prevention and monitoring of patients with a history. In a country with overwhelmed institutions, many serious cases do not receive timely attention. The case is still developing.
