Argentines demand justice at protest against brutal killings of young women
Thousands protest in Buenos Aires against brutal killings of young women, demanding justice for Lara Gutierrez, Morena Verdi, and Brenda del Castillo. The victims were tortured and murdered by a drug-trafficking gang in a crime that has shocked Argentina. Five suspects have been arrested, but a 20-year-old Peruvian man believed to be the mastermind remains at large. The victims were lured into a van under false pretenses, then killed as a warning to others, in a case that highlights the ongoing femicide issue in the country.
