Grief and anger erupted across Argentina as thousands of people marched in Buenos Aires to protest the brutal torture and killing of three young women. Demonstrators gathered outside Argentina&rsquo;s Parliament, demanding justice and declaring that women&rsquo;s lives are not disposable.
The victims, identified as 15-year-old Lara Gutierrez and cousins Brenda del Castillo and Morena Verdi, both 20, were found buried in a suburban home five days after they went missing. Investigators believe the killings were linked to drug gang violence, carried out as a violent warning for alleged internal disputes.
The case drew further shock after reports surfaced that the murders were live-streamed on social media, allegedly viewed by dozens of people. While authorities continue to probe the claim, Meta, the parent company of Instagram, has denied evidence of a livestream on its platform.
Forensic reports indicate the women suffered extreme violence and mutilation before their deaths. Authorities are investigating gang involvement and have detained suspects connected to the case. Families of the victims joined the protests, calling for accountability and urgent measures to protect women from gender-based violence.
The tragedy has reignited debates around femicide in Argentina, where women&rsquo;s rights groups have long campaigned against rising violence.
