The femicide Jorge Neuss (72) was a fan of weapons: he had 30 registered in his name, among them the .357 Magnum revolver with which last Saturday he murdered his wife, Silvia Saravia (69), and committed suicide in his country house Martindale, of Pilar.
This was revealed to
Clarín
sources of the investigation.
Neuss businessman's "arsenal" also included carbines, rifles, shotguns and seven fist weapons.
They all had their corresponding papers.
The data comes from the request for reports made by the Gender Prosecutor of Pilar, María José Basaglio, to the Special Prosecutor's Unit for the Investigation of Illicit Activities related to Firearms, Explosives and other Controlled Materials (UFI-ARM), in charge of Jorge Di Lello, and to Anmac (National Agency for Controlled Materials).
The businessman combined his fondness for weapons with hunting.
As

learned
, he had a hunting ground in one of his fields in Tandil.
Another of the endeavors of the creator of Sodas Neuss was horse breeding.
The Saravia femicide and Neuss suicide occurred at noon on Saturday in the double room located on the top floor of the house they shared in the Martindale.

That day Silvia left in the morning.
The domestic workers saw her return and go up to her room, where her husband had eaten breakfast as he used to do.
One of those women is the one who declared having heard the shots and went up to the room, but found that the door was locked and no one answered from inside.
Then he called one of the sons who has his house in the same country.
Patricio, one of the couple's four children, was the one who managed to break down the door and saw the crime scene.
He called the police, the ambulance and his brothers.

According to what the spokesmen for the investigation reported, none of them declared that they could find an explanation for what happened and they agreed that there were no conflicts or fights, or a history of gender violence, and that their parents got along well.
For his part, Juan said that his parents knew that he is sick with cancer and that the night before the femicide followed by suicide he was with them and they talked about this issue, but he clarified that he does not believe that this was a reason, as in a first moment the Buenos Aires Police spread.
The results of the autopsies confirmed that Neuss murdered his wife with a single shot to the head after a struggle that left signs of defense in the woman and a bullet rubbing the hand of the femicide himself.
Police worked at the Martindale Country Club in Derqui throughout Saturday afternoon.

"The hypothesis of a suicide pact is practically ruled out. The autopsies and what was seen at the scene make us think that
Neuss surprised his wife when she went to the bathroom, fought, dominated her by grabbing her hair, murdered her and then seized shot in the head,
"said a judicial source.
In the case of Saravia, the doctors detected that the shot entered the rear right lateral region of the skull (behind and above the ear), exited behind the left ear, re-entered the body through the left shoulder and the The projectile was lodged in the arm, from where it was extracted with a great deformation.
According to sources, the shot was fired with the .357 Magnum caliber revolver supported and when Saravia had her head reclined on her left shoulder.
In addition, the researchers obtained a series of clues that reinforce the suspicion that the woman was surprised when she was in the bathroom.
This Friday it is expected that the Bonaerense computer experts will access the cell phones and computers that were in the couple's house.
This will be key to delving into the motive for the crime committed by Neuss, which for now is a mystery
