Homicide investigation in Alvear, Corrientes

Overview

Authorities in Alvear, Corrientes, are investigating the death of 16-year-old Cecilia Emilce Lezcano. While the death was initially suspected to be a suicide, investigators shifted the case to a premeditated homicide following the discovery of incriminating evidence, including security footage and cell phone messages. A 16-year-old male classmate was detained as the alleged material author of the crime.

The investigation expanded to include a 17-year-old female accused as a co-author in the killing. A judge ruled that this female suspect will remain free while undergoing psychological treatment and relocating to Santo Tomé. This judicial decision has faced criticism from the victim’s family, who had requested the suspect be held in a juvenile detention center.

Security footage from Alvear has assisted investigators in reconstructing the events that led to the killing at a train station on July 16.
