Tragedy in Moreno : A pit bull killed a 4-year-old boy who had gone to spend a few days at his godmother's house. The incident occurred inside a home located at 2500 Fresnos Street, in the town of Francisco Álvarez. The neighborhood is in shock.

According to what Primer Plano Online was able to reconstruct with sources from the investigation, the woman left the house with her partner to go pick up her daughter from skating and the little boy was left alone on the farm.

Apparently, the animal managed to enter through a ventiluz (small window) and, not recognizing the child, immediately attacked him. Upon returning, the woman, identified as Yohana Mercado (31), found the horrific scene: the dog on top of the bloodied child, still biting him in various parts of his body.

“When they managed to pull him out , the boy was already dead,” sources close to the investigation told Primer Plano Online. The boy was identified as Homero Mauro Leonar Fernández. Prosecutor Carina Saucedo ,of UFI No. 2 in Morón, ordered the woman's arrest while she evaluates what legal action to take. Initially, she is being charged with manslaughter.

The judicial official also ordered the transfer of the child's body to the morgue for the required autopsy. The dog, meanwhile, was placed in the custody of the Municipal Zoonosis Department.
