Overview
- A judge ordered six months of preventive detention for Mariela Altamirano and Michel Kevin González as the inquiry moves forward.
- Altamirano is charged with aggravated homicide by omission for allegedly failing to protect her son, while González is accused as the suspected material author of homicide.
- The autopsy reported more than 20 blows to the boy’s head, which prosecutors say led to the cardiorespiratory arrest that caused his death.
- During the detention hearing, prosecutor Facundo Oribones cited a neighbor who said she saw González running with a baby as Altamirano followed shouting for help.
- González’s sister publicly defended him, denied any past violence, and said she has unverified audio in which Altamirano apologizes for hitting González’s daughter, which she says she may submit to the court.
