A relative of one of the accused in the murder of Jeremías Monzón, a 15-year-old stabbed in Santa Fe, surrendered to justice after threatening a victim's friend on social media. Maximiliano U., half-brother of a suspect, sent intimidating messages like “Do you want me to break your head?” to a 21-year-old seeking justice. The man was charged with simple threats.
The murder of Jeremías Monzón took place on December 18 in Santa Fe, when the 15-year-old was killed with 23 stab wounds. According to the judicial file, two 14-year-olds also participated in the attack, who were identified but returned to their families as they are not punishable under the law. The victim's girlfriend, Milagros A., 16, remains in a youth institute in Rosario.
On Monday, a new episode was added to the case: Maximiliano U., half-brother of one of the homicide suspects, voluntarily presented himself at the Public Prosecutor's Office (MPA), accompanied by his lawyer. He was being sought for threatening a 21-year-old friend of the victim via private Instagram messages. The complaint, filed at the 14th Police Station in San José del Rincón, includes phrases like “stop posting nonsense because I'm coming for you”, “Do you want me to break your head?” and “I'll shoot you full of bullets”.
Police had tried to arrest him at his home in Colastiné but could not find him. Now, Maximiliano U. is at the disposal of the Justice under a case for “simple threat”. Prosecutor Rosana Peresín will file charges in the coming hours. Family and friends of Jeremías continue to demand justice as the investigation proceeds.
