Trial of Cecilia Strzyzowski: this was the hearing in which the sentences for the Sena clan were revealed

César Sena and his parents were sentenced to life imprisonment for the femicide of Cecilia Strzyzowski in Chaco, Argentina.

The Chaco judiciary has sentenced César Sena and his parents, Marcela Acuña and Emerenciano Sena, to life imprisonment for the murder of Cecilia Strzyzowski, who was killed on June 2, 2023. The sentencing hearing, presided over by Judge Dolly Fernández, took place on Tuesday morning, where the penalties were determined based on the minimum and maximum sentences outlined in the Penal Code. The court found them guilty of aggravated homicide due to the relationship in a context of gender violence, with César classified as the perpetrator and his parents as primary participants.

The decision to convict the Sena family was unanimous, reached by a jury in November. This case has drawn significant attention in Argentina, highlighting critical issues related to gender violence and the societal implications surrounding femicide. The judicial process reflects a growing awareness and response to such heinous crimes, aiming to pursue justice for victims and reinforce legal protections against gender-based violence.

Alongside them, José Gustavo Obregón and Fabiana Cecilia González, who were close collaborators of the Sena family, also received sentences. The outcomes of these trials serve as a significant point in Argentina's ongoing struggle against femicide and the broader fight for women's rights in the country. This case reiterates the urgent need for change and the importance of legal accountability in such violent circumstances.
