Susana Cáceres (42) was found this Friday murdered next to the Reconquista River in the Ituzaingó district after having been missing for ten days when she left her home in the town of Villa Trujui, municipality of Moreno. The preliminary autopsy report determined on Friday night that the victim was suffocated, stabbed and beaten on her body and on her head, police and judicial sources reported.
The discovery of the body
The discovery occurred after 1:00 p.m. in the middle of grasslands, on the banks of the Reconquista river, a few meters from the Camino del Buen Ayrein the jurisdiction of that district in the western suburbs, and the body was recognized by his relatives.
The sources informed Télam that the recognition was achieved based on a tattoo with the “Chevrolet” symbol that Cáceres had on one of her forearms and the clothes she was wearing before she disappeared.
Meanwhile, the preliminary autopsy report determined on Friday night that the victim was suffocated and that her corpse presented multiple puncture wounds, bruises on different parts of the body and a blow to the head with a blunt object.
Likewise, forensic experts initially estimated a date of death from 7 to 10 daysadded the spokespersons consulted.
Adriana, a cousin of Susana, thanked in statements to the press “the police personnel and the media” for the treatment given to the case, and stated that “now begins another stage to clarify all doubts.”
Judicial sources informed Télam that the prosecutor Luisa Pontecorvo, head of the Functional Instruction Unit (UFI) 3 of the Moreno-General Rodríguez Judicial Department, who was investigating the disappearance of Cáceres (42) since Tuesday, November 8, went to the place of discovery to coordinate police work.
The investigators detailed to this agency that the body was found during a raking that had been requested by the prosecutor and carried out by personnel from the Departmental Investigation Delegation (DDI) of Moreno in a grassy area next to the river bed, some 20 blocks from the victim’s house.
Dozens of policemen, tactical divers, firefighters, and trained dogs arrived there and began to “comb” a property that, although it had wired sectors, was publicly accessible.
A few minutes after the search began, the police found the body, the sources consulted said.
