Fatal Traffic Dispute in La Plata

After the discussion in La Plata, the prison guard Jorge Luis Castells fell to the ground, hit his head, and died hours later in the hospital. Two men, Jonathan Marchezotti, 37 years old, and Fabio Omar Marchezotti, 53, were arrested as suspects in relation to Castells' death. During their statements, the detainees claimed that Castells was the one who started the fight and constantly attacked them.

"Now I'm going to get a weapon and I'm going to shoot you," Castells reportedly threatened initially before returning to continue the aggression, according to the testimony of the detainees. The younger of the detainees mentioned that Castells' son threw a stone at the prison guard, causing his fall and subsequent head injury that proved fatal.

In the midst of the fight, the detainees claimed that Castells violently attacked them, hitting them in different parts of the body. One of them described: "There he kicked my head, my back, and my kidneys and then he stomped on me hard." Despite the situation, they emphasized that they never intended for the confrontation to end tragically.

The officer of the Buenos Aires Penitentiary Service was involved in a altercation after a bad traffic maneuver that led to a fatal argument. Following the tragic outcome, authorities proceeded with the arrest of the two suspects, who now face charges related to Castells' death.
