Authorities have apprehended a 20-year-old man, Tony Janzen Valverde Victoriano, also known as ‘Little J,’ who was on Argentina’s most wanted list. He is accused of torturing, raping, and killing three women during a live stream on Instagram. The victims, Lara Gutierrez, Brenda Del Castillo, and Morena Verdi, tragically lost their lives after unintentionally entering a vehicle belonging to a violent drug cartel.
Victoriano fled to Peru after the heinous acts, but law enforcement successfully tracked him down at the Peru border. A joint operation between the Provincial Police and Peru National Police led to his capture as he attempted to hide in a truck on the Panamericana Sur highway.
Reacting to the arrest, Patricia Bullrich, Argentina’s Minister of National Security, commended Peru’s National Police for their collaboration in capturing the fugitive linked to the triple murders. She emphasized the importance of coordinated efforts in apprehending criminals.
‘Little J’ was identified as the alleged mastermind behind the brutal murders of the three women in Buenos Aires, with ties to drug trafficking. The victims were reportedly deceived into attending a party for a promised payment, only to fall into the hands of an international drug trafficking gang.
The women were taken to a property called the “House of Horrors” in Florencio Varela, where they were subjected to rape, torture, and murder. The gruesome acts were livestreamed on a private Instagram group, witnessed by approximately 45 individuals.
Following the discovery of the women’s bodies buried in the property’s garden, it was revealed that they had suffered horrific injuries. Lara had her fingers amputated, Brenda had a skull fracture and a cut open stomach, while Morena is believed to have died from asphyxiation with a plastic bag over her head.
During a raid at the property, police found two women attempting to clean the crime scene with bleach. Peru’s National Police, in collaboration with Interpol Argentina, swiftly arrested ‘Little J’ and another fugitive, Matias Agustin Ozorio, both wanted in connection with the triple murders in Buenos Aires.
The case involves a network of drug trafficking, with Tony Valverde allegedly at the center of the criminal activities. Several other suspects have also been detained in relation to the triple murders, highlighting the ongoing investigation into the tragic events.
