The violent “uncle” was detained after the “lover” was shot / on the day
Uproar and commotion in the town of Abasto in La Plata after an episode full of violence and blood that ended with a man dead last night, after fighting for his life at the Alejandro Korn Hospital in Melchor Romero.
According to police sources revealed to this newspaper, everything happened yesterday at noon near the intersection of Highway 2 and Avenue 520, an area that, although rural, is one of the busiest in the western area of Greater La Plata.
According to the first official information, in the place “several shotgun shots and screams were heard.” That was what the neighbors managed to tell when they urgently called 911 to request the police presence for an event that would have a story of “forbidden love” in the background.
Spokesmen for the episode realize that the shot was the final outcome of the fierce fight between a man who blamed the other for having an “unaccepted” relationship with his niece.
Everything indicates that the attacker “discovered” them and ended up taking out a shotgun and firing several cartridges. One of the impacts hit the chest of the “lover”.
As the bloody event occurred in a country house in the fruit and vegetable area, it was initially speculated that the conflict had started over a land issue.
Later, that version was discarded and the hypothesis that gained strength was that of passion and that of “a forbidden relationship between the wounded man and the shooter’s niece.”
It should be noted that although the first searches in the area were negative, a few hours later the suspect was detained in the area of 44 and 201 by personnel from the 7th and 15th police stations.
The investigations had led the troops to the area where the alleged attacker was hiding, which had led him to wander around, where he was finally located and subdued.
In the same way they reported that the shotgun with which he fired the shots was not found.
Although the case was labeled as attempted homicide, it would change to “culpable homicide.” The Seventh Supply Police Station intervened on the scene.
Likewise, the investigation was left in the hands of the prosecutor of the UFI No. of the Judicial Department of La Plata.
AGONIZED SEVERAL HOURS
The 25-year-old man, shot in the chest with a shotgun, fought for several hours in Romero’s hospital, but despite medical attempts, he finally died after 10 p.m. yesterday.
Official sources stated that the boy had been admitted to the intensive care unit “in a critical condition and at serious risk to life”, and his death was later confirmed.
Although the age of the “niece” with whom he would have been discovered was not detailed, those close to the fact report a sentimental relationship that aroused the anger of the accused.
As for the shotgun used by the subject, at this time agents are engaged in the search for the weapon to continue gathering elements.
Accused of abusing a girl
During the last hours, the case of a 59-year-old architect who ended up being detained at the First Police Station in La Plata also came to light.
According to police sources, the man was denounced for “sexual abuse” by a young woman after an episode that took place at the Patagonia bar located at 10 and 50.
The girl, an employee of the place, would have recounted that “while she was working she was harassed by the defendant and that he even tried to kiss her by force.” This was what she pointed out in her complaint in the First.
This case caused a stir in the place since everything would have been during work hours and in front of other colleagues of the complainant.
Likewise, the 27-year-old girl, after giving her testimony, maintained that she will present witnesses to the episode at the brewery.
In this sense, the case, for which more voices are expected in the next few hours, was characterized as sexual abuse.
Finally, it should be noted that an investigation was opened in the prosecutor’s office 3 of La Plata while the defendant will continue to be detained.
