Buenos Aires, January 29 (NA) – The mother of the teenager detained for the murder of Jeremías Monzón, the 15-year-old youth killed by minors in the province of Santa Fe, was charged as an necessary accomplice and will be held on preventive detention. Prosecutor Francisco Cecchini maintains that the implicated collaborated before and after the crime with Milagros A.—the 16-year-old accused who is lodged in a Minor's Institute—and with the others accused, according to local media reports. The hearing took place in the provincial capital's courts, where Judge Octavio Silva ordered preventive detention for the suspect for the legal period of two years. The magistrate based his decision on an image recorded by a security camera that shows the woman with the accused near the Colón stadium an hour and a half after the savage murder. Nadia J., 41, was charged as a necessary accomplice in an aggravated homicide by treachery, cruelty, and the concerted action of two or more people. In turn, it is expected that a short time earlier, M.P., 18, the brother of one of the minor accused, will be charged in a parallel case for making threats against a neighbor who was demanding justice. The complaint for Monzón's disappearance occurred on December 18, and it was not until the 22nd of that month that his body was found in an abandoned factory in front of the Brigadier General Estanislao López stadium, and the autopsy confirmed that the teenager had 23 stab wounds.
