A man was beaten and stoned to death this morning at his brother-in-law’s house, where he apparently arrived with his concubine to demand the return of the money that he was sure had been stolen from his mother hours before.
The crime was perpetrated in the patio of a house located in the Villa Nueva neighborhood of Puerto Esperanza and caused a commotion in the neighborhood because the victim, Timoteo Vázquez (47), is well known. For some time in his house, he has helped dozens of children with snacks and sometimes even with lunch.
The deceased’s partner, Juana Daniela Mongelos, said that she was also physically assaulted and ended up being a key witness in the violent sequence that ended in the man’s death.
He declared before the investigators of the local police station that moments before they had arrived at the place with Vázquez “to complain to his brother David that the day before he had stolen money from his mother.” In the house, next to David, was another brother (Hugo) and a couple (Sergio and Yanina), for which they began to argue and ended up being verbally and physically assaulted, an instance in which Vázquez was beaten with sticks and stones for what collapsed lifeless in the back of the house.
They fled the scene
After the crime was completed, both the brothers and the couple escaped from the site in an unknown direction, so while the scientific experts worked on the scene, a search operation was organized with the collaboration of members of the Puerto Libertad and Wanda police stations.
The patrol gave its first results shortly before noon with the arrest of Yanina Elizabet B. (32) and Sergio Omar P. (27) on national route 12, who were housed at the Wanda police station.
Meanwhile, the search continues for the two brothers, suspected of having had a direct relationship in the murder of Vázquez.
