Buenos Aires, November 15 (NA) -- Today, November 15, marks 33 years since the brutal murder committed by dentist Ricardo Barreda in 1992, when he shot his wife, his two daughters, and his mother-in-law in his home in La Plata. More than three decades later, his assets have lost value, but the killer's glasses were put up for sale for a million-dollar price. According to information from the Argentine News Agency (NA), the La Plata Civil Court formally ruled on the 'abandonment' of the movable property of the mansion where the crimes occurred, including the house on 48th Street between 11 and 12. The ruling stated that the heirs did not claim various objects, including the two cars that remained there, a Ford Falcon and a DKW, which had already been expropriated by the Ministry of Women, Gender Policies, and Sexual Diversity of Buenos Aires. Meanwhile, the famous glasses were put up for sale at a price of 25 million pesos, by a friend who visited him in the nursing home where he lived his final years, explaining she decided to sell them because she needed money. The crime that shocked the country with its extreme violence left in the collective memory the 'motives' the same criminal affirmed, as well as what he maintained during the trial, that he suffered 'humiliations and ill-treatment' from the women in his family, whom he called 'Conchita'. Barreda was sentenced to life in prison in 1995, was granted the benefit of serving his sentence at home in 2008 for being over 70 years old, and finally his sentence was declared extinct in 2016. The legal and physical abandonment of the place seems to reflect what many consider a 'symbolic impunity': although Barreda is no longer here, his figure remains profitable, and his personal objects become macabre relics.
