A domestic employee was
murdered with a shotgun
by her employer in
Mar del Plata
, an 80-year-old retiree, who after the femicide committed suicide;
also from a shot inside his home.
Police discovered the crime after the employee's son reported her disappearance.
Police sources confirmed that the investigation began when a 20-year-old man approached the Mar del Plata 6 police station this Saturday to report that his mother,
Gabriela Verónica Giménez
, 46, had not returned from work.
He also did not answer calls to her cell phone.
After the complaint, police personnel began the search for the woman in a house in the
9 de Julio neighborhood
.
There, she did housework.
Upon arriving at the house located at 1400 Estado de Israel Street, the agents
observed Giménez's body through the living room window
.
They also found the body of the owner of the house, identified as
Luis Alberto Carraro
.
Unlike the woman's corpse, the femicide's body was lying in the room, on the bed.

After entering the house, the police officers confirmed that both people were indeed lifeless and proceeded to seize
a
36-caliber single-shot shotgun with which Carraro is believed to have killed Giménez and then committed suicide.
The initial survey determined that the woman had a
gunshot wound to the chest,
while the man had two injuries: one on the ear and scalp (first failed suicide attempt) and another in the mouth.
The last trace of the 46-year-old woman
The last reference to the woman was from her leaving another place where she was cleaning,
a Monsignor Zabala grill at 400
.
That was during the afternoon of last Friday, according to what the
Diario La Capital
published .
Investigative sources reported that after leaving the grill, a colleague took Giménez to the house in the 9 de Julio neighborhood to do housework.
She was never heard from again.
On Saturday morning, her son began calling a cell that would never be answered.
When he did not return home, the concerned young man decided to file a formal complaint of "investigation of the whereabouts" of his mother.
Likewise, the spokespersons reported that
there are no records of previous complaints against the man
who lived alone in the house where the bodies were found.
The case, in charge of the Functional Instruction Unit (UFI) 7 of the district headed by prosecutor Leandro Arévalo, was characterized as a femicide followed by suicide, while the results of the autopsy are awaited to establish the area where the woman received the shot and if it shows signs of trying to have defended itself from the man's attack.
