Overview
- Sergio Raúl Sarria was found guilty of attempted homicide aggravated by the relationship for an attack that left Adriana Débora Barrionuevo with 37 stab wounds on November 18, 2024.
- The Tribunal Oral N°7 applied the statutory minimum sentence of 10 years after hearings held June 24–25, 2026 and rejected the prosecution's request for a longer term.
- Judges cited the defendant's expressed remorse, apologies to the victim and his daughter, lack of prior convictions, work stability and family support as reasons to treat those as mitigating factors.
- Security camera footage and forensic reports showing 37 cut wounds, several requiring surgery, were central to the conviction and were described in the ruling as proof of intent to kill.
- The victim's querella has announced an appeal challenging the mitigation, and feminist groups and parts of the public have criticized the sentence for failing to match the brutality of the attack.
