The man, who lived alone in the city of Frías, in Santiago del Estero, would have died from a strong blow to the head. They investigate the hours prior to the discovery, when loud music was being played from the victim’s house.
A retired teacher was found handcuffed and murdered with a blow to the head at his home in the Santiago city of Frías.
According to the first known information, the man – identified as Carlos Barrionuevo, 65 years old – was found on Thursday night at the home where he lived alone, near the corner of Alvear and Quintana.
According to the first indications that the police collected at the scene, everything indicates that the cause of death of the sixty-year-old was a strong blow to the head, although the results of the autopsy are awaited to confirm if that was the reason for death. .
The discovery occurred after the neighbors contacted Barrionuevo’s relatives to tell them that yesterday afternoon, for several hours, they had heard loud music coming from the house, which caught their attention.
The ex-teacher’s family contacted the police who, alerted by the call, went to Barrionuevo’s home.
In the house, the members of the Santiago police found the man dead on the floor in the middle of a pool of blood, bloody and handcuffed, for which a case was initiated in the prosecutor’s office on duty, in charge of Alfonso Arce, under the “homicide” cover.
According to reports, next to the lifeless body of the victim, the police would have found a shotgun and a thick wooden stick, which could be the one the murderer used to deal the fatal blow to the retired teacher.
One of the first procedures decided by the prosecution was to request an autopsy of the corpse to reliably determine the causes of death.
