A man was detained accused of being the alleged instigator of the kidnapping and murder of Candela Rodríguez, the 11-year-girl who was found killed on August 31 in Hurlingham.
Judicial sources reported that it might have been a “vendetta” against someone related to the family of the girl. Other sources stated that the man detained is Héctor “Topo” Moreira, who might have had a fight with the father of Candela.
Currently there are seven detained including Guillermo López, Gastón Gómez and Hugo Bermúdez, who, according to the investigators, might be seriously involved in the case.
The attorney of Candela’s mother, Fernando Burlando, partly confirmed this information. “We might have identified the mastermind of the crime. We are working on that,” he told the press and admitted that “a new testimony” was important in order to achieve the arrest.
Referring to the intentions that led to the crime, Burlando said “it’s possible that it was a vendetta against the family and something else.”
