The minor was found dead inside a house in the city of San Justo; his mother, 22 years old, was detained while the Justice investigates the circumstances of the death
The city of San Justo, in the province of Santa Fe, was shocked by the death of Isan Aguirre, a six-year-old boy, who was found dead this Wednesday, August 19, inside a home. As a result, the Justice system ordered the arrest of his mother, a 22-year-old woman, while the investigation progresses to determine what happened.
The incident took place in a house located on Silvestre Begnis Street, between Pedro Millán and cut-off 27. Police personnel went to the residence after receiving an alert call and, upon entering, found the child without vital signs.
Minutes later, medical personnel from Samco arrived and confirmed the death. From that moment on, the house was preserved so that investigators could carry out the initial examinations and collect elements that would allow them to reconstruct the last hours of the victim.
The child no longer had vital signs when assisted by the paramedics
One of the hypotheses being investigated points to a possible crime within the family. In this context, the mother of the minor, identified by her initials as R.M., was detained by order of the prosecutor handling the case.
What is known about the death of the six-year-old boy in San Justo
The woman was in the house when the authorities arrived and was arrested while investigators try to establish her involvement in the incident.
Among the versions being investigated is the possibility that the child died by strangulation. However, the mechanics and exact cause of death will need to be determined through the autopsy, so that information has not yet been confirmed by forensic evidence.
Investigators are also trying to determine whether there were previous episodes of abuse towards the minor. This line is part of the different circumstances that will need to be reconstructed based on testimonies, background, and the evidence collected at the residence.
The child's mother was arrested and her identity was not revealed
Following the discovery, Isan's body was transferred to the judicial morgue of Santa Fe, where the corresponding autopsy will be performed. The study will be essential to scientifically establish how he died and determine if there are injuries that would allow progress on any of the hypotheses.
Meanwhile, forensic experts worked inside the house where the incident occurred. There, a survey was conducted in search of traces and other elements of interest for the case.
The investigation is under the charge of prosecutor Daniela Montegrosso, who ordered the detention of Isan's mother while evidence is gathered to determine her potential responsibility.
From the press office of the Prosecutor's Office, it was confirmed that the woman is 22 years old and remains detained, although the investigation remains open and it is still necessary to obtain decisive information to establish how the death occurred.
