Court Blocks Changes to Coghlan Yard for 60 Days in Fernández Lima Homicide Probe

The order preserves the site for new ground searches in a homicide case revived by a forensic identification.

Overview

  • A Buenos Aires judge imposed a 60‑day no‑changes order on the backyard of Cristian Graf’s home in Coghlan to preserve the scene for evidence work.
  • Prosecutor Martín López Perrando has summoned friends and acquaintances of Graf to give statements this week as the investigation moves forward.
  • The yard will stay untouched for possible repeat subsurface scans after a ground‑penetrating radar sweep last week found no new clues.
  • The case was reclassified to simple homicide after the prior dismissal tied to Graf was revoked, and his lawyer says he is not formally charged.
  • Forensic experts with Argentina’s EAAF matched 151 bone fragments to 16‑year‑old Diego Fernández Lima and reported a fatal chest stab wound and burial in a shallow, improvised grave after workers uncovered the remains in 2025 next to Graf’s property.
