Bariloche Stabbing of 18-Year-Old: Suspect Charged, Ordered Held for Four Months

A 19-year-old faces a simple-homicide count with four months of pretrial detention.

Overview

  • Tomás Alarcón, 18, was fatally stabbed in the chest after stepping in to break up a fight near Hospital Zonal Ramón Carrillo.
  • The confrontation followed a night out at Le Lac Discoteque and an after-party in a rented building a few meters from the hospital.
  • Prosecutor Guillermo Lista led a rapid inquiry that used security cameras and witness accounts to identify the attacker.
  • Police stopped a white Volkswagen Bora within hours, detained Rodrigo Borg, 19, who was with his parents, and seized the suspected knife.
  • Judge César Lanfranchi imposed four months of preventive custody after prosecutors filed a simple-homicide charge, while local clubs and relatives held tributes and demanded justice.
