A message posted on the door of the house put a neighborhood in Guaymallén, in Mendoza, on alert.
"Call 911, the boys are alone,"
read a neighbor, who quickly contacted the Police. When they opened the door, they found a dramatic scene: a crying baby and two lifeless bodies.
When the agents arrived after 4 p.m. this Saturday, the neighbors had already knocked on the door insistently. The person who answered the call was a 7-year-old boy. He told them that he was playing PlayStation and that his parents had been locked in the room for a while and were not responding to him.
It was then that after forcing entry to the marriage room, a dramatic scene was discovered: Florencia Susana Guiñazú (30) was lying on the floor, with signs of violence and bruises all over her body, while Ignacio Noto (32), in the At the other end of the room, he also had no vital signs.
The Homicide prosecutor, Gustavo Pirrello, was notified and activated the corresponding protocol for femicide. In addition, an expert from the Forensic Medical Corps went to the victims' home to carry out the pertinent investigations.

femicide followed by suicide
. Ignacio allegedly attacked Florencia before taking his own life. This theory is reinforced by the discovery of the note written by the man.

lunchtime had already passed and "he was hungry,"

Neighbors of the apartment complex reported hearing disturbances during the night of Friday, but did not alert the authorities.
