A new chapter shook the case of the murder of Ilan Mareco Vázquez, the 8-year-old boy found dead in a home in Santa Ana, Misiones. The mother of the minor, aged 30, was discharged from the hospital this Tuesday and immediately detained by court order, as the investigation advances to reconstruct the macabre events surrounding the boy’s death.
The woman had been admitted to the Dr. Ramón Madariaga School Hospital in Posadas after being found with injuries that, according to the main hypothesis of investigators, she inflicted on herself after the crime. Once doctors determined she was fit to leave the health center, she was transferred under custody to a police station, where she will remain until she is called for a preliminary hearing.
Investigators are not ruling out any leads and are working against the clock to clarify what happened in the hours before the minor’s death. The medical-legal autopsy, testimonies from relatives, and the family background are key pieces of a puzzle that still has many shadows.
The main theory suggests that the mother may have suffered a psychotic episode and, in that state, ended Ilan’s life. Ilan had a developmental delay. However, investigators await the results of forensic tests to confirm or rule out this hypothesis, while other equally chilling circumstances are not ruled out.
In recent hours, a history of alleged domestic violence has come to light that is hair-raising. The boy’s father revealed that he had reported his ex-partner just four days before the crime for an alleged assault, and stated that there were previous episodes of violence, even a restraining order against her. «I ask for justice and that they put her in jail, that they don’t let her out. Let justice be done for my baby,» he said tearfully after the arrest was announced.
To this horrific scenario was added the testimony of an aunt of Ilan, who stated that both he and his siblings were victims of alleged physical abuse. According to her account, the woman beat the minors with a belt and a club, a complaint that is now part of the judicial file and will be evaluated along with the rest of the evidence.
Meanwhile, the accused’s other two daughters, aged 5 and 10, were placed under the provisional custody of a relative by order of the judge handling the case. The community of Santa Ana is shocked, and the call for justice echoes in every corner of the province. The detained mother, who until yesterday was hospitalized, must now face justice for the alleged murder of her own son.
Para mí esto es lo que pasa cuando las minas se creen dueñas de la vida y la muerte. Asesinó a su propio hijo y encima se hace la víctima. Justicia para Ilan, que esta hdp se pudra en cana. Los zurdos y las feministas seguro la van a defender, como siempre.
para mi es una locura q la tengan detenida a la madre despues de perder a su hijo el sistema es una mierda siempre castiga a las victimas y el padre denuncio violencia pero nadie le dio bola ahora se hacen los justicieros viva la lucha de clases abajo el patriarcado firmado tupac_arg
