had left the Provincial Penitentiary Service a few days ago

"The alleged murderer would have traveled on a bicycle and
fled on foot after the crime
," said Riveros, adding that different procedures were ordered in the investigation and that they are searching areas near the scene of the murder aggravated by the link.
"The man was not performing duties at the cemetery, but
there is a version that he was a municipal employee
. So far no hypothesis about the attack has been ruled out," concluded the prosecutor in the case.
Investigation sources indicated that in the early hours of the afternoon
a raid was carried out at the house of the alleged femicide
