Argentina is in shock after three young women were abducted, tortured, and murdered by a drug cartel, with the entire ordeal livestreamed on Instagram.
Thousands of Argentinians took to the streets of Buenos Aires on Saturday to demand justice for three young women whose brutal murders were livestreamed on Instagram. The victims Brenda del Castillo (20), Morena Verdi (21), and Lara Gutiérrez (15) were abducted, tortured, raped, and executed by a drug cartel after mistakenly entering a vehicle they believed was offering a ride to a party. The entire ordeal was broadcast to a private group of 45 viewers on Instagram, amplifying the horror and public outrage.
The crime, described by authorities as a "narco-revenge" act, was allegedly in retaliation for the theft of cocaine. The victims' bodies were discovered buried in a garden in Florencio Varela, a southern suburb of Buenos Aires. The gang's leader, a Peruvian national, remains at large, while four individuals have been arrested in connection with the murders.
The killings have reignited nationwide protests, with feminist and human rights groups demanding accountability and an end to gender-based violence.
