A man was arrested in the last hours accused of murdering his partnera 23-year-old City Police agent found dead with a shot to the chest in June at her home in the Buenos Aires town of Garín, Escobar district, in a fact that was first investigated as a suicide despite the claims from the victim’s family, who claimed that it had been a femicide and that the victim suffered gender violence.
Judicial sources assured that the man arrested for the crime of Nicole Okonski was identified as Walter Samuel Rivero (30)also a member of the City Police, and was already investigated by the prosecutor of the case, Mabel Amoretti, in charge of Escobar’s decentralized Functional Instruction Unit (UFI) 5.
The man was charged with the crime of “doubly qualified homicide by couple relationship and for being a man against a woman mediating gender violence”, which provides for the penalty of life imprisonment.
According to the sources, the prosecutor took the expertise of electronic microscanning that tested positive.

This analysis established that in Rivero’s hands there were particles from the deflagration by firearm shotwhich was considered by the investigations as essential to characterize the cause as a femicide.
After his arrest, Rivero refused to testify in the investigation hearing and will continue to be detained at the disposal of the prosecution, with the intervention of Guarantee Court 3, whose head is Judge Marino.
how was the crime
The event occurred on Tuesday, June 27, when the Police arrived at the home where Okonski, the mother of a baby girl less than a year old that she had in common with Rivero, resided, and they confirmed her death as a result of a gunshot wound in the area of your thorax.
The victim’s partner was at the scene, who assured that after a discussion the agent grabbed her service weapon and shot himself in the chest.

The investigators found an exit hole in the posterior costal arch in the victim’s body and a projectile was seized, apparently of 9 mm caliber.
In turn, the electronic scanning test was carried out on the hands of the victim and her boyfriend and both regulatory weapons were seized, in order to determine through expert opinions who fired the fatal shot.
This measure was the one that ended up deciding the prosecutor in the request for Rivero’s arrest since until then the case was legally classified as “investigation of causes of death” and no legal temperament had been adopted regarding the couple.
“My daughter would never have committed suicide.he loved his daughter too much,” Soraya Gottifredi, the victim’s mother, told the Telefé channel before learning of the defendant’s arrest.
The woman assured that on one occasion her daughter asked her “not to report it” after Nicole had her daughter in her arms and he hit her “against the wall”.
“He grabbed her by the neck and slammed her against the wall.she even sent messages to friends,” recalled her mother, who did not file a complaint because the young woman asked her not to do so for fear that she would lose her job.
Meanwhile, a friend had posted on Facebook that “Niky lived for only 23 years, carried her daughter in her womb for 9 months and only lived 8 months of the rest of her Pía’s life, her pee as she called it.”
“It is sad to know that this baby will not have a single memory of her own lived with her mother. Walter Rivero killed her, murdered her, took her life, the present and the future. She took away her power to be heard,” she expressed.
