Grandfather of Argentine teen murder victim Agostina Vega hospitalized

Miguel Heredia, the grandfather of 14‑year‑old Agostina Vega, was admitted to an emergency unit in Córdoba after experiencing severe chest pain and a serious decompensation. The hospitalization comes amid the family's ongoing grief over Agostina's femicide, which has drawn nationwide attention. Her daughter, Melisa Heredia, remains in intensive care following a similar health collapse linked to the emotional shock of the case.

The criminal investigation, led by prosecutor Raúl Garzón, has recently resulted in the arrest of 47‑year‑old Osvaldo Fassetta on charges of aggravated concealment. Authorities allege Fassetta helped hide information in the residence of main suspect Claudio Barrelier, where forensic analysis detected a blood‑stained blanket that had been washed with hydrogen peroxide. The case continues to drive public outcry and demands for justice.
