The victim, identified as Luana Cristina Carneiro de Melo, was 25 years old and was found suffocated in her bed in an apartment she rented in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2018.
The crime was resolved when the suspect admitted to breaking into the property to steal Luana’s mobile phone, according to information from the Argentine news agency Télam. He said he killed the young woman so she wouldn’t surrender.
Bolivian national Iver Uruchi Condori was convicted of murder. Sources close to the incident told Telam that he was competing with the crime of theft.
Three judges of the High Criminal Court determined the sentence of life imprisonment. With the decision, Condori will continue to be detained in Marcos Paz, Federal Penitentiary Complex II, under the Federal Penitentiary Service.
Luana’s mother, Rosemary Carneiro de Freitas, told the Argentine agency she “always fought for justice”. and condemnation “represents the persistence of this struggle”. He attended all hearings.
Luana has always fought for justice and women’s rights in life. The conviction of his murderer represents for us the determination of this struggle.”
Born in Jataí (GO), 320 km from Goiânia, Luana moved to Argentina at the age of 22 after meeting a friend online.
He made a trip to the country and eventually decided to stay in Buenos Aires, where he got a job as a financial assistant in a multinational company.
