A man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison in the city of Corrientes, Argentina. Osvaldo David Medina was found guilty of the homicide of Alfredo Javier Armando Molina and the attempted homicide of Barbara Romero. The crime, which occurred in April 2024, was classified as femicide with aggravating factors. The prosecutor had requested a 30-year prison sentence, arguing that Medina's sole motivation was "the control and domination he wanted to have over Romero." The defense had insisted the crime was committed in a state of intense emotion, but the judges rejected this argument. Aggravating factors considered included the defendant's position as a police officer, the use of a firearm, the total helplessness of the victims, and previous family containment.
