Argentine Man Charged with Femicide After Wife’s Death in River Crash
A chilling case in Argentina has resulted in the arrest of a man accused of murdering his wife, whose death was initially attributed to a car accident. Javier Cerfoglio is facing charges of femicide after authorities uncovered evidence suggesting his wife, Magalí Vera, was a victim of domestic violence before the fatal incident.
The tragedy unfolded in Necochea, Argentina, when Vera and Cerfoglio’s car plunged into a river. While initial reports suggested a tragic accident, investigators uncovered disturbing details that pointed towards foul play. Security footage showed the couple’s vehicle traveling at a high speed before the crash, raising suspicions.
“The security cameras at the Necochea Terminal later recorded the passage of the vehicle in which Vera and her husband, Javier Cerfoglio, were traveling, when it was traveling at higher speed than permitted along Jesuita Cardiel Avenue,” according to reports.
Adding to the suspicion, a witness called 911, claiming to have seen Cerfoglio hitting vera inside the car before the vehicle veered off the road.
An autopsy confirmed Vera’s death was caused by drowning, but the forensic report revealed “injuries compatible with previous gender violence” to the fall. This finding, coupled with the witness testimony and the speeding incident, led authorities to believe Vera’s death was not an accident.
“Even though the woman’s death was due to submersion, the forensic report established that the body had injuries compatible with previous gender violence to the fall,” the report stated.
Cerfoglio was arrested and charged with homicide doubly aggravated by the relationship and by gender violence (femicide). he refused to testify before the prosecutor.
Vera, a mother of a 12-year-old son with Cerfoglio, had recently resigned from her job at the Municipal Consumer Information Office (OMIC) to focus on her cake business. Tragically, she had been hired to bake the wedding cake for the couple whose celebration she and Cerfoglio were returning from at the time of the incident.
This case highlights the devastating reality of domestic violence and the importance of recognizing the signs of abuse. Vera’s story serves as a somber reminder of the urgent need to address this global issue.
