After four days of an intense search in the Cordovan city of Laboulaye, this Sunday they found the lifeless body of Joaquín Sperani in an abandoned house. Although his best friend confessed that he killed him, the circumstances of the event are still unclear. There are even suspicions that he did not act alone.
What is clear is that they killed him in cold blood. According to the result of the autopsy that was known in the last few hours, the cause of death was head trauma after receiving more than 10 blows to the head.

Leandro, the minor who claimed to be the perpetrator, was housed in a juvenile detention center, where he will undergo diagnostic, psychosocial, and environmental studies. Due to his age, 13 years old -one year younger than the victim-, he is unimputable.

“I have a feeling that there is something else, I have a feeling that it was not just Leandro, there must be more involved. I want it to be investigated, ”she said in dialogue with the media, while she was accompanied by her husband and Joaquín’s father, Martín Sperani.
Security cameras, keys to catching the suspect
From the beginning of the search, all eyes were on Leandro and this is because the security camera images provided by the neighbors captured him and Joaquín minutes before his disappearance.

In addition, Leandro had Joaquín’s cell phone and at no time could he explain what he was doing with that phone. He even gave false information in the middle of the investigation: he said that his friend was missing because he had gone with another family.
According to what people from the suspect’s environment told TN, “Leandro does not speak, he does not say anything and he seems mute.” In turn, they added: “They ask him things and he remains silent, as if in shock. They say that he is threatened by others and that is why he gave false information and lied.
The disappearance of Joaquin Sperani
The teenager began to be searched for on the afternoon of Thursday the 29th, when he conspicuously did not attend school. The last time they had seen him was around 3:00 p.m. and he had his uniform on.
The preceptor of his course confirmed that he was not in the classroom when he took attendance and something that added more confusion was that his bicycle was in the school yard. However, his companions could not give certainty as to whether they had seen him that day.
