The man who beat and killed a Brazilian tourist on Corrientes Avenue last week has a lengthy criminal record and history of psychiatric hospitalizations. The central question of the case now is why the accused was not under psychological treatment, which led to the attack on 69-year-old Maria Vilma das Dores Cascalho da Silva Bosco. Federico Nicolás Amadei, 30, was arrested hours after the fatal assault and later transferred to the Borda psychiatric hospital after being found to have mental health issues. During the investigation, it emerged that the man used several aliases, including Federico Amadei Sena, Jorge Fernando Heredia, Federico Nicolás Heredia Amadi, and Federico Nicolás Heredia Amadeo. His first known incident was an arrest for investigation on August 19, 2017. Despite the swift response from the emergency medical service (SAME), the victim died.
