In a violent incident in San Martín, Argentina, a man fatally stabbed his partner, Daniela Alejandra Gasis, following which he was arrested.
In the early hours of Thursday, a tragic violent incident occurred in San Martín, a municipality in Buenos Aires Province, where a man murdered his partner, Daniela Alejandra Gasis, through multiple knife wounds. According to local security sources, authorities were alerted by neighbors who heard cries for help from the victim. The incident escalated quickly, leading to significant police presence in the area.
Daniela, aged 43, suffered stab wounds to her arms and chest, inflicted by her partner, Juan Ramón Díaz, aged 42. After the brutal assault, she managed to flee the residence and seek help from nearby residents. Emergency medical services promptly took her to the General de Agudos “Eva Perón” hospital in Villa Juan Martín de Pueyrredón, where she unfortunately succumbed to her injuries post-arrival.
