A prosecutor from Río Cuarto requested new DNA tests on 200 people to try to determine who was the author of the crime of Nora Dalmasso in November 2006 in a home in that town in Córdoba, an act for which the husband, Marcelo Macarrón, was acquitted in the trial held last year.
The measure was requested by the first shift Investigation Prosecutor of Río Cuarto, Pablo Javega. According to the new line of research, we try to elucidate with this evaluation of genetic compatibility if people who had some type of connection with the victim They had some type of contact with the crime scene.
Jávega indicated that the idea is, in the first instance, “obtain a mapping” to later advance in the comparison of the samples with some profiles that would be finalized as the investigation progresses. The Prosecutor’s Office describes this process as a “genetic testing sweep”according to what the local site reported Puntal.com.ar.
This process is currently underway and, among those mentioned to provide new samples of genetic material, There are people who have had the status of witnesses and others who have been accused. in the first case for the crime of Nora Dalmasso. “It is a first measure, which is taken with the idea of having a mapping and then continuing to advance,” said Jávega, who did not specify data on the progress or not of that line of investigation.
According to the agency Telam, The tests have already begun, and will take four to five more months, because it aims to be carried out in about 200 people. As the prosecutor explained, the people of interest for this new investigation were summoned as collaborators of Justice, but he clarified that there is no suspicion directed at anyone in particular.
The final objective of the case that Jávega is prosecuting is to reach the historical truth of Nora Dalmasso’s crime, since there is currently no criminal prosecution. In the trial in which Macarrón was acquitted, prosecutor Julio Rivero maintained that Nora “was killed by a single person, someone she knew”and that after “a consensual sexual act,” the murderer held the victim by the neck until she was unconscious and then performed a double knot with the belt of the robe at the neckto prevent him from regaining consciousness.
It is in that belt that a genetic trace was foundwhich at the moment is NN, because compatibility could not be found with any person previously tested, and that is who prosecutor Jávega aims to reach with these new matches.
Nora Dalmasso case: an investigation without culprits
He On July 5 of last year the trial that acquitted Macarrón ended, in which he was accused of the crime of “homicide qualified by the link, by treachery and by price or promise of remuneration in an ideal competition.” At that time, the technical court of the Río Cuarto Crime Chamber and with popular juries, had decided to grant the request of the Prosecutor’s Office and dictate the “dismissal” of all charges.
Nora’s lifeless body was found on November 26, 2006 in her home in Villa del Golf, in the city of Río Cuarto, and according to experts, she died of asphyxiation by strangulation. At the time of her husband’s crime Macarrón was participating in a golf tournament in Punta del Este (Uruguay), as proven in the trial.
During the investigation, the painter was charged Gaston Zarateconsidered “parsley” by his neighbors who even marched to defend his innocence, the victim’s son Facundo Macarrón and the lawyer Rafael Magnascowho were progressively dismissed from the accusations, and finally the widower Macarrón as the only one who came as a defendant to the trial as an instigator of the crime, but ended up acquitted.
Prosecutors Javier Di Santo, Fernando Moine, Marcelo Hidalgo, Daniel Miralles and Luis Pizarro passed throughout the process, who closed the investigation and took it to trial.
