Merlín Díaz, a 30-year-old hairdresser from Lomas de Zamora, took her life by drinking muriatic acid after losing her savings in a scam by three Romani women. In a letter left to her husband, she said goodbye to her loved ones, asked for forgiveness, and pointed to those responsible. Police are investigating the case, with suspects identified as Mirta Noemí Mitrovich, Nancy Marina Yovanovich, and María Silvia Mitrovich.
Alejandro Ruffo, 52, detained for the homicide of his 8-year-old son, was found lifeless in his cell at Unidad Penal 34 in Melchor Romero. Police sources suggest it was an apparent suicide by tying a sheet around his neck, with no signs of third-party involvement. The boy's mother, Natalia Ciak, voiced pain and indignation over the loss of her only son.
