26 Sep, 2025
Summary
- Four people arrested in Argentina for killing two women and a teenager
- Victims allegedly tortured and dismembered, with remains found in a "house of horrors"
- Killings reportedly orchestrated by a Peruvian drug trafficker as retaliation

On September 24, 2025, the horrific discovery of the dismembered remains of three victims in Florencio Varela, Argentina, led to massive protests in Buenos Aires, as the public demanded justice for the brutal killings.
According to the investigation, the victims - Brenda del Castillo (20), Morena Verdi (20), and Lara Morena Gutiérrez (15) - had been missing since September 19, 2025. Authorities suspect they were lured into a van with the promise of a party, only to be subjected to brutal torture and murder.
The investigation revealed that the killings were allegedly orchestrated by a Peruvian drug trafficker, who left a chilling message: "This is what happens to those who steal drugs from me." The victims' torture was reportedly broadcast on a closed social media group, further shocking the public.
Examinations of the remains showed that the victims had been killed on the morning of September 20, 2025. Morena Verdi had her five left fingers and one ear cut off, while Brenda del Castillo was stabbed to death before her attackers allegedly cut open her abdomen.
Four people have been arrested in connection with the murders, though their identities have not been publicly announced. One of the detainees reportedly tipped off the police that the killings were the work of the Peruvian drug trafficker.
The discovery of the victims' remains in the "house of horrors" has sparked outrage and calls for an end to gender-based violence in Argentina. The investigation is ongoing, as authorities work to bring the perpetrators to justice and provide closure for the victims' families.
