In the province of Mendoza, a woman lost her life after a fire set by her ex-partner in her home. The aggressor, identified as Celedón, was arrested at the scene but is hospitalized due to the injuries he sustained during the fire.
The alleged aggressor will now face charges of femicide, serious injuries, and attempted homicide for the injuries inflicted on his son during the incident. Despite this, the indictment hearing has not yet been held, as the individual remains sedated.
