It all began at noon on Sunday with a traffic accident in
Lomas del Mirador
where a motorcycle rider died and his companion fled the place.
Investigators noted that the young man had not died from the accident, but had
a fatal cut on his abdomen
incompatible with the crash.
It would later be discovered that the victim was a motorbike and had been stabbed by the friend of a man they had wanted to assault.
The man who stabbed the thief with a knife was arrested on Sunday, accused of "homicide committed
with excess in the legitimate defense of third parties
" and will be released this Monday afternoon.
Judicial sources informed

“In the trial
, the avoidance or inevitability
of the error in
assessing the dangerous
situation (of the accused) will
be discussed
, because there are no witnesses who say that the thieves were carrying weapons.
If it was avoidable, it will carry the penalty of a culpable homicide ”, explained the sources.
It all started when the Police came due to a
crash
at the intersection of President Hipólito Yrigoyen and Necochea, about 100 meters from Mosconi Avenue, in the La Matanza district.
A Yamaha 125 motorcycle had hit a Peugeot Partner truck driven by a woman and on the street lay lifeless
Leandro Maldonado (21)
.
The companion of the dead young man had fled the scene after the impact.
When the emergency doctors arrived at the scene of the crash, they found that Maldonado was dead and that he had a short stab wound to the abdomen that
was not compatible with the accident
.
From the first inquiries made by the Police and by the prosecutor Duplaá, it emerged that Maldonado and the young man who escaped before the crash
had tried to steal a man's cell phone
at the intersection of Costa and Avellaneda, in Lomas del Mirador.
When the police arrived at the place of the car it was discovered that the victim had been stabbed.

According to the sources, the thieves intercepted him, threatened him verbally and made gestures of being armed.
His friend saw everything and came to his aid
, and a struggle began.
It was in this context that, according to some statements incorporated into the case, one of the criminals made a
gesture to extract a weapon
, for which the friend of the man initially assaulted stabbed him with a knife.
The wounded man got on the motorcycle with his accomplice and tried to escape, although he was stoned while fleeing and also suffered a torso injury.
The two suspects continued with the escape and after 350 meters they collided with the Partner, at which point Maldonado was killed at the scene and
his accomplice escaped
.
