Morteros, Argentina – Femicide Followed by Suicide Claims Two Lives

On a Monday in Morteros, Córdoba province, the bodies of 38‑year‑old Natalia Delso and 46‑year‑old Juan Galván were found in a house on Beiró street. Police and forensic teams were called after relatives reported Delso missing. Prosecutor Francisco Payges is leading the investigation, which is treating the case as a femicide followed by suicide: Delso appears to have been killed with a blunt‑force injury, after which Galván took his own life. Authorities say there were no prior domestic‑violence complaints between the two, but Galván had earlier been convicted of gender‑based violence in another case. Police, the scientific police and local judicial officials are collecting evidence and conducting autopsies to confirm the sequence of events.
