Andreina L. S. has been sentenced to 40 years imprisonment for the brutal murder of her mother, Martha S., in Guayaquil. The crime occurred on October 17, 2025, when Andreina killed her mother in their shared home located in the Sauces neighborhood. The court accepted the evidence provided by the prosecution, which demonstrated that the murder was committed with premeditation and cruelty.
The investigation revealed that Martha S.'s dismembered body was discovered hidden inside a washing machine and other containers at the home. This gruesome crime shocked the community, leading to widespread media coverage and public outrage. Andreina was arrested shortly after the remains were found, highlighting the severity of the case and the tragic circumstances surrounding it.
Additionally, the victim's attorney criticized the investigation for lacking thoroughness, which resulted in the inability to include a potential second suspect in the prosecution. This raises questions about the judicial process and the investigation's effectiveness in addressing such a heinous crime, as victims' rights and proper legal procedures are called into scrutiny.
