Overview
- The child, identified as Alma Jazmín, was taken to Hospital Gutiérrez with convulsions on Tuesday and died that evening from cardiorespiratory arrest.
- Preliminary forensic work noted lesions but did not confirm sexual assault, prompting orders for complementary laboratory tests.
- Prosecutor Martín Almirón of UFI No. 8 reclassified the case and secured the detention of the parents, María Jimena Vieras, 24, and Miguel Ángel Allende, 31, on the charge of abandonment of person followed by death.
- Police searched multiple family residences, including a home on 127 between 35 and 35 bis, and seized bedding and other items for analysis with Policía Científica and the DDI’s sexual abuse unit.
- Local authorities increased safeguards for other children linked to the household as neighbors voiced concern, and some outlets reported a paternal uncle was also imputed, a detail not uniformly corroborated.
