Florencio Varela triple homicide: torture video discovered

Florencio Varela triple homicide drug trafficking Lara Gutiérrez Morón Federal Court

Investigators in the Florencio Varela triple homicide case have discovered a video recording showing the torture of 15-year-old Lara Gutiérrez. The footage, lasting approximately two and a half minutes, was found on a mobile phone belonging to a Peruvian drug trafficker detained in an unrelated case.

The video reportedly places suspect Tony Janzen Valverde, known as “Pequeño J”, at the crime scene, contradicting his previous statements. The recording captures an interrogation and the suffering of the victim before the deaths of Gutiérrez, Brenda del Castillo, and Morena Verdi. Authorities believe the murders were a retaliatory act by a drug organization following a theft of narcotics.

In response to the discovery, the family of Brenda del Castillo, represented by attorney Fernando Burlando, has filed an urgent injunction with the Federal Court No. 2 of Morón. The request seeks to halt the circulation of the video on digital platforms to prevent the revictimization of the families and to protect against threats reported by the victim's sister. The Public Prosecutor's Office has also issued a formal exhortation to media outlets to refrain from reproducing sensitive imagery related to the case.
