Last Thursday, around 7:00 pm, a retiree was stabbed to death in the chest at his home in the municipality of Moreno, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which was intentionally set on fire minutes later. For the fact, the person who cared for him and his partner were arrested. According to investigations, the murder would have occurred to steal a large sum of money from the victim.
Gerardo Daniel Spinazzola, 75 years old, was a retired teacher who lived alone on Pío XII street at 2300 Moreno district, in the west of Greater Buenos Aires. The man had reduced mobility and had the help of a caregiver.

Judicial sources reported that the investigation began when firefighters attended a fire in the building and after putting out the flames found the man’s body. At first, the investigations suspected an accidental death, but the experts observed in the autopsy that Spinazzola had a stab wound in the back.
After that, the forensic police ruled that Spinazzola received a stab wound and that he died as a result of smoke inhalation during the fire. In any case, he stressed that “the outcome would have been the same without the fire”, due to the deep wound caused by the stabbing.

The detainee, Elizabeth Natalia Lara, 42 years old, was the daughter of Spinazzola’s best friend and the one in charge of assisting him, so he had the keys to the house. That Thursday, she was seen loading bags into a green Chevrolet Corsa car at the door of the retiree’s home minutes before the house began to catch fire.
“As recognized by a neighbor in the area, moments before the fire, this car was parked in front of the house with the trunk directed towards the house, while this woman loaded several bags into the vehicle,” explained a spokesperson linked to the cause.

Investigators estimate that, after killing him, the defendant took some valuables from the house, loaded them into bags, called a driver, and set the house on fire.
In addition, Judicial spokesmen indicated that the motive for the crime would be the theft of some 1.8 million Argentine pesos (more than 48 million Colombian pesos). that the victim kept in a false bottom of a piece of furniture. In this regard, the sources revealed that part of the money was recovered, which was incinerated, while they warned that the fire could have caused “a major tragedy.”
The hypothesis was supported by the owner of the Corsa car in which Lara was seen on the day of the event, since the man appeared before the Moreno prosecutor’s officewhere he explained that he was a driver and provided the address of a home in the town of San Fernando to which the passenger who hired him went.
With this information, the prosecutor of the Functional Instruction Unit (UFI) 3 of Moreno, Luisa Pontecorvo, requested the arrest of the woman, who was captured yesterday afternoon by agents of the City Police since she has a legal address in that district. Lara refused to testify before the prosecutor and was charged with “aggravated homicide criminis causa and for treachery in a real contest with robbery aggravated by the use of a knife.”

There, bags with different valuables belonging to Spinazzola were recovered, for which Morales was also arrested and charged as a “necessary participant” in the murder.
