The Justice of Curuzú Cuatiá and a team from the Directorate of Investigations of the Federal Police began to close the circle on the only one arrested for the murder of Correntina journalist Griselda Blanco (44).
The suspicions fall on Armando Jara (54), the woman's former partner, who was captured by security cameras near the victim's house in the early hours of Saturday, when the crime occurred. Also, that he returned to travel through the same place on his motorcycle 14 hours later.
On the possible motive of the crime, the data that transpired is that Jara would have learned that Blanco was starting a love relationship with another man and that would have caused an attack of jealousy. And that in the early hours of Saturday he disembarked at the house on Juan Pujol Street to see if Griselda was alone or in the company of her new partner.
Journalist Griselda Blanco (44), murdered in Curuzú Cuatiá, Corrientes.
The now-detained man arrived at the woman's home at 3:24 a.m., investigators said. Blanco's death occurred later, according to the first expert reports.
Investigators will conduct further searches of Jara's property and workplaces in search of other items that may be compromising.
Among other things, they want to know if the man had a set of keys to his ex's house, or if she opened the door that morning. Your cell phone will also be examined to know when you last contacted her.
Although prosecutor María José Barrero Sahagún, head of the Fiscal Unit of Reception and Analysis of Cases, maintains total secrecy about the investigation, it was learned that together with the agents of the Directorate of Investigations of the Federal Police they already have indications that would point to Jara as the author of the crime.
At the head of the feds came Commissioner Ricardo Juri -investigated the murder of the teenager Angeles Rawson-, who was in charge of the case in his role as head of Complex Investigations of the NEA. When the Homicide agents and force experts arrived for a series of scientific analyses, Juri returned to his base of operations, in Chajarí.
Beyond the indications, in a matter of weeks the prosecutor Barrero Sahagún will have her power the result of the DNA test that will be done on a lock of hair that the victim had one of his hands, a clear indication that he tried to defend himself from his attacker.
The autopsy that was carried out in the city of Corrientes revealed that Blanco was killed in the early hours of Saturday. The body had a strong blow to the head and a puncture to the neck. The killer then hung the body from a rope to simulate a suicide but the scene was very crude, sources linked to the cause said.
The Minister of Security of Corrientes, Buenaventura Duarte, traveled to Curuzú Cuatiá, where he will meet with investigators and relatives of Griselda Blanco.
The official recalled that in the last elections the communicator was a candidate of Eco+Vamos Corrientes and highlighted the decision to refer the investigation to the Federal Police to avoid any suspicion of partiality.
This Monday, Fabián Cesani, one of the sons of the victim, recalled that his brother "warned him that she could fall prey or arrested, she was afraid, she was nervous, not that she was going to kill herself, but that she was afraid because someone had threatened her."
In addition, he ratified the disappearance of the cell phone he used to work and where he would have stored the information related to his complaints.
"We are devastated by the news of my mother's departure, there are many things that the experts, the prosecutor, are working on," Cesani said. And he made it clear: "From the beginning we maintained that it was a homicide. My uncle and grandmother found my mom, they saw the beatings, the blood, the marks on her neck."
