It was at the Falivene police detachment, in the provincial capital. The escapee already had a flight record and was convicted of two murders.
A man entered the Falivene detachment in the Parque Sur neighborhood of San Miguel de Tucumán on Friday night, pointed a gun at a policeman’s head and forced him to release a detainee.
With the excuse of filing a robbery complaint, the armed man entered after 10 p.m. and did not give the only guard on duty time to react. Immediately, he demanded the release of his accomplice, Luciano Hernán “Muñeca” Fernández, who is serving sentences for two murders and already had a history of escape.
Fernández, 29, had been convicted in 2014 of the murder of Franco David Soria, but was placed under house arrest because he had suffered a serious injury in the act. In the midst of that grief, he escaped and remained a fugitive for several years.

Four years later they managed to catch him in Santiago del Estero, after he killed a 10-year-old boy in the middle of a fight with neighbors. However, it was not that day that they found him, but months later, in Termas de Río Hondo.
In an abbreviated trial, assistant prosecutor Benjamín Zavalía, with instructions from prosecutor Pedro Gallo, said that a four-year sentence had been agreed for evasion and aggravated injuries, since after escaping he injured a person. Judge Fanny Siriani accepted the agreement and “Muñeca” must serve a 26-year sentence.
Fernández was staying in the detachment because he is also a witness in a case for drug sales in which the Penitentiary Service was denounced.
