17-летний подросток stabbed his 16-year-old brother in the Mendoza town of Los Árboles after a family argument. According to the family's version to the police, the altercation was triggered by a dispute over a pair of socks in their home located in the department of Rivadavia.
The argument between the two brothers quickly escalated into a physical confrontation, culminating in the 17-year-old grabbing a knife and stabbing his 16-year-old brother in the abdomen, causing a five-centimeter wound. Following the incident, the victim was urgently taken to the Medrano hospital and later transferred to the Perrupato Hospital, where he received medical care and underwent various tests.
In light of this situation, the Interdisciplinary Technical Team (ETI) intervened to interview those involved and other family members to analyze the situation and establish preventive measures that could prevent future episodes of domestic violence.
