The investigation into the crime of Kim Gómez, the 7-year-old girl thrown from a car by criminals and dragged for 15 blocks, is entering a crucial week. The declaration of the girl's mother is expected in the coming days, and a decision will be made on the situation of the 14-year-old detainee on Friday.
Florencia, Kim's mother, was a witness to the robbery and murder of her daughter that fatal night. Justice awaits her testimony this week to obtain details about the two thieves involved. Judge María José Lescano has determined that the 14-year-old will remain under security measures until a new hearing in a week, where the evidence presented will be analyzed.
Prosecutor Carmen Ibarra will seek for the teenager to continue in this maximum security modality until he reaches the age of majority, while investigators gather more evidence to determine his responsibility in the case. On the other hand, the other detained criminal, aged 17, will serve 180 days of preventive detention according to the authorization of the judge.
This case has been one of the most resonant in the last week and was mentioned by President Javier Milei during his speech at the opening of sessions in Congress.
