Overview
- Police identified the victims as Juliana Marcela Frías, 37, and her 17-year-old daughter, Diana Yerlin Gómez, found dead in a home in Quitilipi, Chaco.
- Investigators say the suspect, David Ojeda, allegedly entered overnight and killed both victims with an axe after first attacking the mother and then the daughter.
- Early forensic reports note vaginal and anal injuries to the 17-year-old, apparently caused by a blunt object, with experts still determining the timing and specifics.
- The case was initially filed as femicide followed by homicide, and prosecutors indicate the charges could be upgraded to double femicide as pericial findings are finalized.
- Ojeda, the adult victim’s ex-partner, was detained near Routes 4 and 16 after briefly threatening to jump onto train tracks; police report the bodies were found covered with a blanket and an axe was seized for analysis.
