Marcelo Macarrón, the widower of Nora Dalmasso, who was murdered in the city of Río Cuarto in 2006, and his daughter Valentina have joined as plaintiffs in the femicide case. This was confirmed by the lawyer Mariángeles Mussolini, who explained that Marcelo and Valentina joined as plaintiffs with the legal representation of advisor Gustavo Liebau.
The lawyer indicated that due to a technical issue, two lawyers cannot appear in the same complaint, so two different complaints have been filed, although both are working in the same direction. Mussolini represents Facundo Macarrón, one of Dalmasso's children, who was falsely accused of sexually abusing and murdering his mother but was later acquitted.
Prosecutor Pablo Jávega accepted the request and continues the investigation after the judicial recess in January. The Justice is investigating Roberto Bárzola, a suspect of being the material author of the homicide, after finding DNA compatible with his genetic fingerprints on the victim's gown and body. Bárzola, an employee who worked in the family's house, has been charged with sexual abuse followed by death and has refused to testify.
Bárzola's defense requested the prescription of the case due to the time elapsed since November 2006. The autopsy revealed that the victim was found naked in her daughter's room and that the murderer asphyxiated her by manual compression, leaving fingerprints on her neck and strangling her with the tie of her gown.
