A 15-year-old girl was beaten and murdered by her teen classmate after she told him she is pregnant with his baby.
The teen victim from Mendoza, Argentina, was repeatedly hit on the head with a rock and stabbed more than a dozen times in the neck and stomach by her 14-year-old classmate on Aug. 24. after she told him she was pregnant, authorities said.
The teen victim was discovered by a neighbor just 20 minutes later. Her injuries were so severe that she died on the scene.
An autopsy revealed that the mother-to-be had suffered multiple injuries from being beaten and stabbed all over the body. However, her death was caused by a deep stab wound in the stomach.
The victim’s father, Fabián Fernández said: "He killed her like a dog, stabbing her all over the body and leaving her face beaten to a pulp."
As pointed out by the neighbors, the victim and the minor suspect were spotted together near the crime scene a few hours before her death.
An investigation based on the statements led police officers to the teen's home. He was interviewed in the presence of his mother, during which he reportedly confessed to having killed his classmate.
He told the investigators that he committed the crime after the girl told him she is pregnant.
According to local sources. the suspect had allegedly asked the teen girl to meet him in an abandoned house, where he brutally beat her and then stabbed her between 10-15 times. He left the lifeless body of the young girl at the scene and fled.
The police recovered the murder weapon during a raid at the minor suspect’s home, the DailyStar reported.
A further probe is underway and is currently being handled by the Juvenile Criminal Prosecutor, Gustavo Farmache.
