Authorities in Argentina are advancing investigations into two separate femicide cases.

In Córdoba, Matías Jesús Córdoba and Eugenia Ludmila Ascarruz have been arrested and charged with aggravated concealment in the murder of 14-year-old Agostina Vega. Investigators are utilizing reconstructed timelines and acoustic evidence, which suggests the pair may have heard the victim’s cries for help from their residence.

In Mar del Plata, the investigation into the murder of Mailén Antonich continues as prosecutors analyze new evidence, including security footage, autopsy findings, and seized mobile phones. Authorities are also examining potential motives involving possible payments related to the victim’s former partner’s family.
