Prosecutor Calls for DNA From Families to Identify Two Unmatched Male Profiles in Jurado Case

The testing window runs through February 28 at the MPA in San Salvador de Jujuy to finalize evidence before seeking trial.

Overview

  • Investigators say two unidentified male genetic profiles were recovered from the suspect’s home, while five profiles already match named victims.
  • Relatives of missing men are asked to give samples on business days from 8:00 to 13:00 at Urquiza 462, with collection open through February 28.
  • Matías Jurado stands accused of five counts of aggravated homicide under charges of ensañamiento, alevosía y placer, which carry the maximum penalty.
  • Preliminary testing on evidence taken from the residence was positive for blood, and forensic genetics forms the backbone of the prosecution’s case.
  • Jurado remains in preventive detention at the Gorriti unit until at least April 4, a psychiatric evaluation deemed him criminally responsible, and he continues to deny involvement.
