Judge María Fabiana Galletti ordered the preventive detention of two men for the murder of José Alberto Ronderos on December 7 during a robbery inside his home. Buenos Aires, December 31 (NA) – Two men were charged with preventive detention accused of the murder of a retiree at the beginning of December in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Núñez. "After that, taking advantage of their physical superiority and having nullified any capacity for resistance that Ronderos could offer, they brutally beat him in different parts of his body until they managed to kill him." Through the follow-up of the cameras, it was determined that after the crime, the two men who entered the home boarded a bus towards the Parque Patricios area. In turn, in the processing order, the magistrate stated that, with knowledge of the case, the two suspects took a long-distance bus to the Buenos Aires locality of Dolores and then headed to Mar del Plata. In this city, they were detained in the middle of this month, after it became known that they were involved in a traffic incident that occurred on December 11, where one of them was driving under the influence. After being arrested, the two suspects were transferred to the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires to be interrogated by the judge, although they refused to testify. Thus, based on the evidence gathered so far, Judge Galletti ordered the preventive detention of the two men—who have prior convictions for property crimes—as the author and necessary participant, respectively, of the crimes of "aggravated homicide for having been committed with cruelty, with the prior conspiracy of two or more people and for the related crime -criminis causae-, which in turn concurrently with the crime of robbery." In addition, she embargoed their assets to cover the sum of $101,279,145 for each. They went to the home located on Vuelta de Obligado street at 3100, where they found him dead. The Fiscales portal highlights that upon entering the home, they found the 70-year-old victim semi-nude, tied by his feet and hands, and with signs of having been brutally beaten. Furthermore, the magistrate embargoed the assets of the accused to cover sums of over $101 million. The case began days later when the victim's family members filed a complaint at the 13B Police Station of the City Police that the man had not been responding to their messages for two days. The autopsy confirmed that his death was caused by "polytrauma" and "internal bleeding." Based on the work of the Video Security Directorate—in charge of Police Inspector Laura Malventano—along with personnel from the Judicial Video, Technological Support, Image Analysis, and Rapid Support for Monitoring Interventions (SARIM) divisions of that police force, the fact was clarified and those involved in the robbery and murder of Ronderos were identified, as learned by the Argentine News Agency. They were watching him During the investigation, it was possible to ascertain, after analyzing the security cameras and the testimony of the cook at the bar the victim used to frequent, that days before the crime, Ronderos was being watched by one of the suspects. "The defendants, on different days and times, carried out discreet intelligence tasks in the vicinity of the victim's home, which would have taken place, at least, from December 5 to 7 inclusive, all this, presumably, with the object of determining at what moment they could access his home and carry out the acts they had in execution," the judge indicated. The magistrate explained that they took advantage of the fact that he was a retiree, and on December 7 they entered his home, where they mistreated him.
