Overview
- Police say Romina María de los Ángeles Calvo, 40, was found dead inside her Villa Devoto home after being stabbed in the early morning hours on Thursday, and her husband Walter Humberto Verón, 56, was detained at the scene.
- Officers located Verón about 200 meters from the house with self‑inflicted cuts and he was hospitalized in grave condition under custody after an apparent suicide attempt.
- The couple’s two children were present: the 8‑year‑old reportedly watched the attack on the home security monitors and the 21‑year‑old son called 911 to report that his father had killed their mother.
- Investigators seized a large butcher’s knife, multiple home security cameras, phones and other devices, a handwritten letter by the accused that names business disputes and references Verónica Asad, and household items including a small altar and a hidden Bible note now subject to forensic and communications analysis.
- The case is assigned to Juzgado Nacional Criminal y Correccional N.º 62 as a femicide investigation and prosecutors say forensic results from the seized items will be central to proving motive, resolving questions about third‑party ties and guiding next legal steps while the children receive psychological support.
