A 45-year-old woman with addiction problems was arrested for the murder of her uncle, a Spanish retiree who was beaten, tortured with an iron and stabbed at his home in Boedo.

She was accused of wiretapping of another cause where she and family members comment that she committed the act.

This is María Laura Peralta (45), who was arrested this Sunday for the triple qualified homicide of Antonio Landeira (87), which occurred on April 15 in Metán 4282, after being incriminated in wiretapping of another cause where she herself and relatives comment that he committed the act.

According to the sources cited by

Télam

, Peralta fell around 7 o'clock at the door of her home in a building on Avenida Independencia 466, in San Telmo, by detectives from the Homicide Division of the City Police, who had been looking for her since Saturday. , when a series of raids were carried out.

The investigation was led by the Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor 1, Pablo Recchini, and the investigating judge 60, Luis Schelgel.

The Superintendency of Dangerous Drugs of the Argentine Federal Police (PFA), who were working on another file, also participated in the operation.

The key to confirming the suspicions surrounding the defendant arose from live wiretapping that the PFA carried out in the framework of a drug trafficking case that is in charge of federal judge Julián Ercolini.

In that file, the federal agents had tapped the phones of the suspect's brother and sister-in-law and there they were able to record several communications made on the day of the event from the vicinity of the crime scene, in which the defendant herself

confessed that she had stolen from him. and then murdered his uncle

.

In one of the wiretapping transcripts, the sister-in-law asked the accused: "

What happened? I'm going to look for you?

", To which Peralta replied: "

I have a 50-inch screen, I'm going to go to Zavaleta so that give me money

", a clear reference to a television of that size that, according to the case, was one of the items stolen from the victim's house.

"

How is he? Was he?

" The sister-in-law asked in reference to whether the victim was dead and Peralta replied: "

Yes, I have to go change because I'm all chocolate

", an expression with which she described that she was stained with blood.

Precisely in the raid on the home of the accused carried out in the last hours, two towels, a blouse and a shirt with apparent blood stains were seized that will now be analyzed in the laboratory to determine if it is the victim's blood.

In other wiretaps, it was Peralta's own brother - arrested on Saturday but for the cause of drugs - who contacted his father to warn him: "

Laura sent a bad shit. Terrible. The worst thing you can imagine

". that his father asks him if he did something to his uncle, and he replies: "

Yes. He did something very ugly to Uncle Antonio

."

Based on the analysis of the call records and data traffic of the cell phone used by Peralta, the prosecutor Recchini and the Police determined that, on the day of the event, the defendant called her uncle's house twice between 1:21 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. 13.34.

Then three Boedo antennas captured her approaching and remaining in the crime scene area for approximately one hour, between 2:18 and 15:15, at which time the murder is believed to have occurred.

Who was the victim

According to the sources, the victim's widow, Andrea Mansueto (53), had already declared in the case that her husband

had owned four restaurants

, that he now lived by renting some premises and that he had no problems with anyone.

In addition, he mentioned that Landeira

complained about two of his nephews

, whom he described as "scoundrels" because they always asked him for money, and that the man had been in prison and María Laura had "problems with drugs."

Judicial sources revealed that the autopsy carried out by the Forensic Medical Corps found

a total of 47 injuries

, of which the fatal ones were four stab wounds in the left hemithorax.

But the rest reflect the torture to which the victim was subjected with multiple injuries from blows and cuts that Landeira suffered to the face, chest and arms, with four fractured ribs and, in addition, type AB burns in 15 percent of the body surface, located on the back, chest and forearms.

At the crime scene, the experts seized

a knife, a screwdriver and an electric iron

, as the elements used for torture and subsequent murder.

For this reason, when requesting his arrest, the prosecutor Recchini charged Peralta with the commission of a "

triple qualified homicide for having been committed with cruelty, for the bond (niece) and for having been committed in order to ensure the consummation of the robbery and achieve their impunity (criminis causae)

", a crime that

provides for a sentence of imprisonment or life imprisonment

.
