The trial for the femicide of Elizabeth Alejandra Toledo begins on Monday.
The investigation of the crime, for which there are two defendants, had two particulars: the contribution of a parrot that was present at the scene of the murder was key.
As stated in the request for elevation to trial, which Télam agreed to, while the crime scene was being guarded awaiting the arrival of experts, a policeman heard screams from inside and when checking he found a parrot in a cage that said
" Oh please let me go, oh no! "
, a phrase that investigators believe could be the last thing the victim said before ending up murdered.
Elizabeth Alejandra Toledo (46) was murdered at dawn on December 30, 2018 in a home in the Presidente Perón neighborhood, in Virreyes Oeste.
The autopsy determined that Toledo had been raped, that she had been severely beaten, and that the cause of death was a manual strangulation.
The two defendants are Miguel Saturnino Rolón (53), alias "Mambo", and Jorge Raúl Álvarez (65), alias "Uncle Jorge", who will be tried for "aggravated sexual abuse and homicide aggravated by the relationship and for mediating gender violence. (femicide) ", crimes that provide for life imprisonment.
The dental expertise that was key to clarifying the femicide of Elizabeth Toledo (46).

The trial, which will begin on Monday at 10 a.m. and will have another two days on Tuesday and Wednesday, will be before the Oral Criminal Court (TOC) 6 of San Isidro, made up of judges Federico Tuya, Débora Ramírez and Sebastián Urquijo, in the judicial building at 114 Marin Street.
The accusation will be in the hands of the prosecutor Bibiana Santela, the same one who instructed the case and who is the head of the Functional Unit of Instruction (UFI) of Gender Violence of San Fernando.
The case revealed the vulnerability of the victim, a woman with a maturational delay who, according to her own environment, lived with three men who subjected her to mistreatment that were never reported.
Forensics provided a key piece of information that allowed the investigation to advance: they found
bite marks on
the victim's right forearm
that were classified as defensive injuries and ended up being key to clarifying the murder.
From the beginning of the investigation, Santella had the three men who lived with "Eli" as suspects.
Two of them are the ones who will go to trial, Rolón and Álvarez, and the third was a man -his identity is reserved because he was dismissed-, who was discarded because he had an alibi and about 15 days before the crime the owner of the house they rented I had fired him because he had hit "Eli".
Based on the injuries found on the forearm, the prosecutor entrusted the Legal Dentistry Division of the Scientific Police Superintendency of La Plata to compare the imprint of the bite left by the murderer with the bite of each of the suspects.
For some forensic dental experts, those marks can be like a fingerprint.
The dental experts
made an exact copy of the teeth of each of the suspects with molds
and when comparing the bite of each one of them with the marks found on the victim, they came to the conclusion that they coincided in three points with "the canine , first premolar and second premolar "of the lower left arch of the defendant Rolón, according to the expert opinion to which Télam agreed.
"Mambo" Rolón was the person who notified 911 to report that he had found Toledo murdered when he returned from working as a night watchman at the Virreyes Rugby Club, located 100 meters from the house.
The bite was not the only thing that complicated it, since one of the police from the 4th police station.
from San Fernando who arrived on the scene, declared that when the forensic doctor had not yet arrived and no one knew how the woman had been murdered, Rolón said that "surely" they had "strangled" her, gesturing with their hands.
"How is it possible that Miguel Saturnino Rolón has described in detail the death mechanism maneuver? I can think of only one answer,"
affirms the prosecutor in the request for elevation to trial.
DNA traces
In Álvarez's case, the evidence that most compromises him is a
DNA test
that concluded that his genetic profile matches that of the organic remains found in the victim's body after being raped.
It was also complicated by a witness who saw him go in and out of the crime scene at the time of the crime, but in addition, a close friend stated that "Uncle Jorge" himself told him that he arrived at the house that morning, saw her in Toledo in the bed, had sexual intercourse and only after that did he realize that she was dead, so he got scared, tried to clean up the scene and fled.
Although he never formalized this version in his investigation, where he refused to testify - like the other defendant - the forensic doctor who performed the autopsy, Federico Corasaniti, was categorical in stating that there was no doubt that the victim "was abused. sexually before he died "for the injuries found on his body.
