Marcela Acuña, who is being tried in Chaco as a 'necessary participant' in the femicide trial of Cecilia Strzyzowski, attacked five prison guards and was isolated in a single cell at the Women's Penitentiary Unit in the Don Santiago neighborhood of Resistencia, where she is detained. The measure worsened Acuña's situation, which was already facing rejection from most of the inmates at the same penitentiary. They accuse the woman of 'conflictive behavior,' along with her cellmates Fabiana González and Griselda Reynoso, who are accused of aggravated concealment of the femicide. The incident, which became known in recent hours, occurred on November 5 in Pavilion 3, Cell 1. The victims of Acuña's aggression were: First Corporal Luciana Romero (mild linear erythema on the right elbow), First Corporal Viviana Beatriz Pawizki (blow to the left knee), First Corporal Camila Martínez (abrasion on the left forearm), Agent Gavilán Soto (hematoma on the left leg), and Agent Lucía Benítez (linear erythema on the right forearm). The 53-year-old woman, who ran for mayor of Resistencia in 2023, has been held at the Women's Detention Center in the Don Santiago neighborhood for 2 years, 4 months, and 21 days. Marcela Acuña remains detained, just like her husband Emerenciano Sena, her son César Sena (the material perpetrator), and four other accused individuals linked to the femicide of Cecilia Strzyzowski, which occurred on June 2, 2023, in Chaco. All the accused are being tried by jury in Resistencia, the capital of Chaco.
