Five days later on Wednesday Sept. 24, police found their bodies buried in a garden in Southern Buenos Aires, each with multiple injuries.
Gutierrez, the youngest, had 5 fingers and part of her ear cut, del Castillo had multiple stabbing wounds and Verri had her faced smashed in.
They appeared all have been injured while they were still alive before they were murdered, according to Spanish newspaper El País.
Police have arrested at least 12 people, who revealed the torture had been broadcast in a private social media group to gang members as a warning.
One suspect claimed one of the victims had stolen 5 kilograms of cocaine, but police have yet to confirm the information.
Police have yet to catch the criminal mastermind, who is believed to be a Peruvian drug trafficker named Pequeño J or Little J in English.
On Saturday, Sept. 27, women’s rights organizations and thousands of people, alongside the families of the victims, took to the streets to protests the femicides, which is the murder of a woman due to her gender.
Activists have also condemned attempts to discredit the victims over alleged drug links, saying no woman deserves to die.
