Yanina Pérez died , the 29-year-old woman who had been hospitalized for a week after having suffered burns in 50% of her body at her house in Admiral Brown. Marcos Arredondo (29), the victim's partner, is being held, accused of having set it on fire.

"We will do justice for you, and that son of a thousand bitch will pay for everything he did," Soledad, a sister of Yanina, posted on Facebook.

And he added: "I love you and we all love you infinitely, you fought with all your strength . I am grateful that you have waited for me to visit you today and thank you for having left our two angels for the rest of our lives. let's take care as our greatest treasure. "

Yanina was the mother of two children, a baby girl and a baby, the son of the femicide suspect. Although she had been admitted to the Santamarina hospital in Monte Grande, she was later referred to the San Martín de La Plata hospital, where she died this Saturday because of the serious injuries she suffered.

Ludmila, a cousin of Yanina, said: "He left the body in a hospital and his soul left because of a disgusting human who set it on fire as if it were garbage , leaving two such small creatures without a mother and with so much to live that they will always need it, "he said.

It was Sunday, February 2, when the tragedy broke out. Yanina was with Arredondo at his house in Quebracho at 100, in Barrio Lindo, when the neighbors began to hear that the woman was asking for help from the patio.

Some neighbors entered Yanina's house and even tried to lynch Arredondo for the attack on their partner. But it was the victim who managed to say that her boyfriend " didn't want to burn her, " according to a source with access to the cause by prosecutor Marcela Juan, of the UFI No. 16 of Lomas de Zamora.

While the experts kidnapped from the victim's house fuel and lighters, Yanina was hospitalized in serious condition at the Santamarina Hospital of Monte Grande and once stabilized she was transferred to La Plata, where after almost a week of agony , she died.

Arredondo, meanwhile, remains detained. Initially, he was charged with the "attempted homicide" of his partner and refused to testify before the prosecutor, who then requested his formal detention to the judge of Guarantees of Lomas de Zamora, Gabriel Vitale.

But with Yanina's death, the cause was recaptured as a " homicide aggravated by the link for having been perpetrated by a man towards a woman mediating gender violence." Now, Arredondo will be investigated again this week by the prosecutor but under the new charge: femicide.
