During an interview with A24, a relative of the victims of the triple murder that took place in La Matanza stated that "we must do as in India" and "cut off the hand" of those who steal, in addition to criticizing human rights organizations for defending criminals.
When asked about how he sees the future of La Matanza, a historic stronghold of Kirchnerism, the retiree replied: "There is no future here. We must do as in India, those who steal must have their hand cut off. But human rights, you see... I would cut off the hand."
These statements about the K municipality are similar to those made yesterday by Lionel, the father of Brenda, one of the murdered girls, who requested that the investigation stop being under provincial jurisdiction and move to the federal court, amid direct criticism of the Kirchnerist government of Axel Kicillof and the leadership of the judicial investigation.

"La Matanza is a circus, that's why I want everything to go federal. This is all monopolized. The judiciary, politics, the police, all unified, it's worse than Mexico," the man said in statements to the media, expressing distrust toward the authorities of Buenos Aires province.
Lionel's words reflect the pain and indignation of a family that not only faces the loss of a daughter, but also the uncertainty about the true responsibilities behind the crime. Brenda's father was skeptical regarding the figure of an alleged mastermind, identified in the case as "Pequeño J," whom police authorities pointed to as the leader of the criminal organization linked to the incident.

"Stop looking for invented names. This character is fictitious, where did they get him from? I grew up in La Matanza, for me they're covering something up," Lionel said, in line with Morena's mother, another of the murdered girls, who had also expressed doubts about the transparency of the investigation.
The triple crime occurred last Friday, when the three young women disappeared after getting into a white van in La Tablada. Days later, their bodies were found buried in the garden of a house in Florencio Varela, showing signs of extreme violence. The official version indicates that they were victims of a "narco trap."
