The prosecutor investigating the femicide of 39-year-old Débora Oviedo, whose body was found buried in the coastal city of Necochea, confirmed that she was “strangled” by Ángel Gutiérrez. “The autopsy revealed that she died from mechanical asphyxiation,” stated Walter Pierrestegui, who charged the accused with aggravated homicide due to gender-based violence and their pre-existing cohabitation. In an interview with Splendid AM 990, the prosecutor stated that “the body was buried 20 centimeters below the surface and about 30 meters from the tent.” The prosecutor from the 20th Instructional Unit of Necochea said that the corpse “also showed bruises.” “There is a witness who heard a fight between them at the campsite and the next day only saw Gutiérres leaving the place,” expressed Pierrestegui. In this sense, the prosecutor highlighted that the Scientific Police are analyzing the clothes with blood, while Gutiérrez is detained in Unit 15 of Batán Prison with preventive detention.
