A 31-year-old man of Paraguayan origin was arrested in Berisso, Buenos Aires, for keeping his 24-year-old partner captive in his own home. The woman was beaten and threatened with a knife to prevent her from leaving.
The incident took place on Monday when the young woman managed to call for help to 911 after suffering domestic violence. During her testimony, the woman explained that she was attacked with the knife found in the house and that she had been prevented from leaving since the previous day.
