Nadia Navarro Montenegro (23) was indicted on Tuesday for the "
simple homicide
" of Alejo Oroño (22), her boyfriend and father of her 20-month-old baby.
It happened on February 10, past one in the morning, in William Morris, Hurlingham's party, and it prompted legislators from Together for Change to promote a bill to protect men from gender-based violence.
Fernando Soto, lawyer for the victim's family, will appeal the measure, since he does not agree with the classification, which provides for a penalty of 8 to 25 years.
“It is an aggravated homicide, because they had a romantic relationship and a child in common.
He is entitled to a life imprisonment.
We consider that the same norms of femicide should be applied
”.
Alejo and Nadia met about three years ago.
According to the victim's family, they were in a relationship despite living apart.
On the day of the murder they met in the afternoon.
She went to the house where he lived (that of her cousins) and they spent some time on the sidewalk, next to the baby.
At night they met again: they met at the house of a friend of Nadia's.
They ate pizzas, argued and Alejo left.
He walked to a kiosk on the corner of J. Bustamante and Marqués de Avilés.
Around one in the morning, they met again at the door of a Chinese supermarket located fifty meters from the kiosk.
The security cameras of the trade recorded what happened: after an argument, Nadia took out a kitchen knife with a saw, 12 centimeters long, and stabbed him in the heart.
"
Son of a bitch, you stabbed me!
" The young man yelled at her.
Injured, he tried to walk to the corner.
Nadia followed in his footsteps.
But in seconds he ran away in the opposite direction.
Two drivers from a remisería (one was the victim's uncle) from the block and an employee from a grill put him in a car and took him to the San Bernardino hospital, where he died.
Leonel Oroño, brother of the murdered Alejo Oroño, together with the deputy Eduardo Cáceres and the lawyer Fernando Soto in Congress, demanding the Alejo Law.
According to the file to which
Clarín
had access
, a witness declared in court that Alejo and Nadia
"had
a conflictive relationship
", in addition to "problems with drugs", since "they were addicted" to cocaine.
A friend said that, minutes later, saw the assailant on the street, running and crying, as she told her and another girl, "
Alejo went, I do not know what I did, I stabbed him
."
“We maintain that there was also treachery, because in the video you can see that Nadia yells at him, insults him and that Alejo had his hands behind his back.
And she takes advantage of that position to stick the knife in his heart, "added the lawyer.
Navarro Montenegro remains detained at the 1st police station.
of Ituzaingó.
As
Clarín
learned
, his defense began the process to request house arrest.
The homicide is investigated by the prosecutor Bernardo Kiper, in charge of the Functional Instruction Unit (UFI) 1 of the Morón Judicial Department.
"It was common for my cousin to come back beaten and hurt by Nadia," recalls Gisela, Alejo's relative.
“He did not make complaints because he said he
was ashamed to tell what happened to him in a police station
.
Once he was encouraged to enter, but they did not want to take it ”.
Months before the crime, Nadia's mother had denounced her son-in-law.
"They didn't let my cousin see his son and he broke a glass," Gisela clarifies.
Alejo had detailed to his uncles that the response of the police from the 2nd police station.
from Villa Tesei, the only time she appeared was: "
Go and fix things with your partner instead of reporting her
."
In recent weeks, the young man's family received threats via WhatsApp and social networks.
They promised to "
stab them like Alejo
."
"Men also suffer gender violence, and it is much more common than is believed.
Violence does not have gender
. In this case we feel that the murderer is treated with indulgence and with reproaches to the victim," concluded Soto.
The "Alejo Law", according to its promoters, seeks to expand the scope of the "Micaela Law" (after Micaela García, the young woman raped and murdered in Gualeguay in 2017) of training on gender violence for State personnel, so that this training is provided "from the perspective of gender diversity and not only of women."
