Man stabs wife to death in Merlo and says "I went too far"
According to diariodecuyo.com.ar, a 64-year-old man stabbed his wife to death during the early hours of Sunday in a residence located on Asunción Street at number 2800, in Merlo, Buenos Aires. When police officers arrived at the scene, they heard a chilling phrase from the attacker himself: "I went too far".
A family member of the couple made the call to 911 and alerted authorities to the situation, which enabled police to reach the home. Upon entering, officers found Silvia Beatriz Mina, 62, lying on the floor lifeless, with multiple cuts on various parts of her body and a large pool of blood surrounding her.
A few metres away was her husband, Marcelo Tesio, 64, who also had cutting wounds on his arms and neck. Tesio was urgently transferred to Mariano y Luciano de la Vega Hospital in Moreno, where he received medical attention. After being discharged, he was detained and placed at the disposal of the court.
Prosecutor Leandro Vaccaro, head of the UFI No. 11 of Morón, was scheduled to take his statement on Monday. During the procedure, investigators seized a blade that is believed to have been used in the attack and which will be submitted for appropriate forensic examination.
According to the information available at this time, there were no previous reports of domestic violence between the couple. The investigation seeks to reconstruct the course of the argument and determine the exact circumstances in which the attack occurred that ended the life of Silvia Mina.
