A shocking video has surfaced, capturing the distressing moment when three women were enticed into a “horror house” where they suffered sexual assault, torture, and were ultimately killed during a live stream. The bodies of Lara Gutierrez, 15, Brenda del Castillo, 20, and Morena Verdi, 21, were discovered five days after they went missing following their voluntary entry into a vehicle, believing they were attending an event.
Reports indicate that the women were deceived with a promise of £220 ($300) for attending what was described as a sex party. CCTV footage shows the women waiting on a street corner before getting into a white car together. Unbeknownst to them, they were being led into a trap by an international drugs trafficking gang for a planned execution.
Authorities revealed that the victims were found buried in a garden, victims of a drugs trafficking group based in Buenos Aires that orchestrated the murders in a selected house. Four individuals have been arrested, and investigations are progressing to identify those responsible for the crimes.
The women were allegedly lured to a remote “horror house” in Argentina, located approximately 20 miles from their homes, after being accused of drug theft by a criminal organization. The brutal acts of torture and murder were purportedly ordered as revenge by the gang leader, with the killings broadcast live on Instagram to around 45 viewers.
Law enforcement made multiple arrests following the discovery, with further suspects detained overnight. The suspects include three Argentinians aged 18, 19, and 28, as well as a 27-year-old Peruvian national. While initial reports suggested the live stream occurred on TikTok, it was later confirmed to have taken place on Instagram.
Despite conflicting reports on the social media platform used for the live broadcast, top news outlets in Argentina, such as La Nacion and Clarin, have pointed to Instagram as the medium through which the heinous acts were shared. Buenos Aires’ Security Minister Javier Alonso confirmed the broadcast occurred on social media and condemned the murders as a chilling case of violence and terror.
