Local journalist Pablo Ferrari provided details regarding what has been known so far to different media in the region. “Around 10 p.m. we learned that the police and firefighters were looking for the bodies of two babies in the patio of a house. We arrived at the place and indeed they were there, in addition to a large number of neighbors, “explained Ferrari and said that while excavations were being carried out at the site, a 39-year-old woman accused of being the mother of the babies was arrested and transferred to the police headquarters. Regarding the woman, Ferrari added that, according to her reports, she had an advanced pregnancy with twins who would have given birth in the last few hours.
The journalist, although not confirmed, pointed out that following midnight, the bodies were found. “Everything indicates that in the first minutes of the day they were found because more police cars arrived, firefighters finished their work and the morgue truck also arrived,” he said.
