The man was the one who said he discovered the crime, called the police and reported the theft of jewelry. At his home they found money and his mother's belongings.


The son of the 91-year-old retiree murdered last Wednesday at her home in the Buenos Aires town of Las Lomas de San Isidro was arrested in the last few hours accused of being the perpetrator of the crime.

The man, identified as Aldo Di Paolo, 65,

was the one who said he discovered the crime

, called the Police and reported the missing a series of jewelry and the cell phone of his mother María Cristina De Vincenti (91), who appeared dead with a knife stuck in her neck.

Sources of the investigation revealed to the Télam news agency that one of the elements that complicated Di Paolo was that the detectives from the Departmental Investigation Delegation (DDI) and the San Isidro police who worked on the case established that between Saturday and last Monday

the only person who had entered De Vincenti's home had been his son

.

It was even established that on Monday afternoon, when Di Paolo left his mother's house,

he did so with a bag

.

In the raid carried out at Di Paolo's home, on Herrera street at 800 Las Lomas, the Police seized 3,000 dollars, 900,000 pesos, a tablet, a notebook, two cell phones and a cushion with apparent blood stains.

Judicial sources indicated to Télam that given these elements and a series of contradictions that were detected in his account, the prosecutor in the case, Carolina Asprella, yesterday ordered the arrest

of Di Paolo as a suspect in homicide aggravated by the link

, a crime that foresees as the only penalty life imprisonment.

The crime

The man now detained was the one who last Wednesday, around 8:30 p.m., called the Police to report that he

had found his mother murdered in her house

, located in Avellaneda at 1300, in the Las Lomas neighborhood of the San Isidro district, in the north of the Buenos Aires suburbs.

At that time, the man explained that he had gone to his mother's house because she - who

lived alone and used a wheelchair

- did not answer his phone calls.

When police personnel arrived at the scene, they found that the woman had been murdered.

Her body was lying on the floor of the home's kitchen dining room, with a knife stuck in her neck.

Di Paolo also told police that his mother's bedroom was in a mess, and that

the murderer(s) had stolen a series of jewelry and the victim's cell phone

.

From the crime scene,

the first hypothesis pointed to a homicide during a robbery committed

by someone who had managed to enter the house.

Although no forced doors or windows had been detected, some neighbors stated that the woman used to leave the door open to get out for air.

After the autopsy established that De Vincenti

died from a stab wound to the neck

that caused hemorrhage and hypovolemic shock, prosecutor Asprella investigated the son's version in parallel and after a series of investigative tasks and detected contradictions, ordered the raid on Di Paolo's home and his arrest. 

"Basically, the work that the DDI did with the cameras and other data that contradicted the son's testimony ended up turning him into the main suspect. And although there are still experts and listening to his investigative statement, the raid on his home strengthens our suspicions

,

" a judicial source told Télam.

Di Paolo was detained at the DDI San Isidro headquarters, from where in the next few hours he could be transferred to the San Isidro courts for prosecutor Asprella to investigate.
