Murder of 3 girls streamed live on Instagram: Drug gang tortures by cutting fingers, pulling out nails d Your Title

A drug gang in Argentina brutally murdered three girls and showed the entire incident live on Instagram. The gang's henchmen first brutally beat the girls, then cut off their fingers, pulled out their nails, and finally strangled them to death.

The deceased girls were two cousins, Morena Verdin and Brenda del Castillo (20 years old each), and 15-year-old Lara Gutierrez. Their bodies were recovered from the courtyard of a house in the southern area of Buenos Aires.

According to the police, the three were taken in a van on the pretext of inviting them to a party and were killed as punishment for 'breaking the gang's rules'. In the video, the gang leader was heard saying that ''

Whoever steals my drugs will meet the same fate.''

On Saturday, thousands of people went on the streets demanding justice, in protest against the murder of the three girls. The families of the victims marched to parliament carrying banners inscribed with 'Lara, Brenda, Morena' and posters with their pictures.

Brenda's father, Lionel del Castillo, said that the safety of girls is now more important than ever. He said that his daughter's body was not in a condition to be identified. Brenda's grandfather, Antonio del Castillo, called the killers bloodthirsty beasts.

3 men and 2 women arrested for murder

Three men and two women have been arrested in the case. The fifth accused was caught from the Bolivian border city of Villazn. He is accused of providing logistical support with a car.

Police have also released the photo of the mastermind of this conspiracy. He is 20 years old and a citizen of Peru. He is currently absconding.

According to local media reports, the three girls were called to the party as prostitutes. However, Lara's aunt, Del Valle Galvan, denied these allegations. She said that Lara had no connection with drugs or prostitution.

Brenda and Morena's cousin, Federico Celebon, said that both sometimes did sex work for money, but the family was unaware of it.
