A man stabbed and killed his ex-partner, whose body he abandoned on the side of a road in the Cordovan town of Balnearia, after which he confessed the fact to his children and then shot himself to death while the police were looking for him as main defendant of the femicide, sources of the force reported this Monday.
The body of Silveiro José Roldán (57), who had been wanted since last Saturday on suspicion of killing Laura Lidia Palacios (50), mother of his five children, was found in the last hours of last Sunday in an area known as Trinchera , located approximately two kilometers from Altos de Chipión, where he lived.
According to the first information, Roldán had shot himself with a 16-gauge shotgun, which caused his death at the scene.
Before that, always according to the information provided by the spokesmen, the man went to the house where his and Placio's children lived, to whom he told them "I sent a snot, I killed her", after which he fled .
The spokesmen reported that the femicide occurred last Saturday afternoon when Roldán and Palacios were traveling on a motorcycle, aboard which the man took his ex to a vacant lot located meters from Provincial Route 17.
In that place, according to the spokesmen, Roldán would have attacked the woman with a knife, with which she produced a deep cut on her neck that caused her death.
Palacios's body was found shortly after next to the weapon used in the crime and the motorcycle on which she was taken to the scene, the informants added.
It was some people who were walking in the area who noticed the body in a drain next to the shoulder shortly after, so on Saturday night the police were already after Rodán's steps.
Apparently, when he was cornered by the troops, the man killed himself with a shotgun.
The sources added that Palacios had already suffered episodes of violence from his ex-partner.
The cause was for the moment labeled as femicide and is in charge of the Cordoba prosecutor Silvina Quaglia.
