Matricide in San Isidro: they arrested the son of the 90-year-old woman murdered with a knife

Aldo Antonio Di Paolo (65) picked up his cell phone Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. and dialed 911. When answered, he told the operator he had a emergency. He said he broke into his 90-year-old mother’s house, Maria Cristina De Vicentisin San Isidro, and that he had found her dead with a knife stuck in his temple. He also pointed out that it was a robbery, as jewelry and money were missing. Then he gave the address: Avellaneda 1313a few blocks from the hippodrome of San Isidro, one of the most affluent neighborhoods in the northern suburbs.

Within minutes, the house was filled with police. The scene, horrifying in itself, hiding even more fear.

After 24 hours of investigation by prosecutor Carolina Asprella, the court decided to search and arrest the victim’s son, Aldo Di Paolo, accused of being his mother’s murderer.. Despite the fact that the man at all times tried to make investigators believe that it was a robbery, there was details and above all tests that seriously complicate it.

There is a fundamental piece of evidence on which much of the charge rests. There is a security camera of a neighbor who focuses directly on the door of María Cristina’s house. It should be noted that this is the only possible entrance to the house, according to what the investigators of the San Isidro DDI.

Although the woman’s son said in his initial statement that the last time he saw his mother was Sunday at 1 p.m.the security camera caught him entering the Monday at 6 p.m.. This fact was never mentioned to the investigators. But from this surveillance camera comes another, even more concrete piece of information: Full tapes have been reviewed and as of Sunday at the time of discovery, the only person entering and exiting is the victim’s son.

That is, from Sunday to Wednesday, there are only two incomes and expenses. Monday at 6 p.m. And the one of Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. when the man claimed to have found his murdered mother.

To this information that appears in the file, another piece of information has been added. Although the full autopsy result is not yet available, the doctor who examined the corpse, based on temperature, testified under oath that the date of death between 48 and 72 hourscoinciding with the Monday afternoon in which Aldo Di Paolo is seen entering his mother’s house.

The son of the victim, now formally charged with the murder, assured that the alleged thieves took away jewelry and the mobile phone of Mary Cristina. In footage from Monday afternoon, the man is seen entering his mother’s house empty-handed and leaving with a bag. Also, inside the house there were open drawers. “We believe this is a staged scene to make it look like a robbery”assured of GlobeLiveMedia a legal source.

What is true is that the cellphone of the woman did not appear. Therefore, different tasks are now performed to find out if the phone had any activity and in what geographical area.

In addition to this concrete evidence, which the prosecutor Aspera deemed sufficient to advance the arrest, certain questions arise about the case that, over the past 24 hours, have been swirling in the heads of investigators.

Mary Cristina I had 90 years old and he did not have his own mobility, but used a wheelchair. At the time of the attack, she was alone.. Therefore, if the version given by the son about a robbery was true, why would a criminal murder a woman so old she couldn’t even move on her own? At the very least, visible.

Another extremely important detail. There was no forced opening. The doors and windows were in perfect condition.. How did the offender get in? Different witnesses have assured that María Cristina did not open the door to anyone for security reasons and because of her inability to move on her own.

From the various testimonies, it emerges from the information that Aldo was the one watching Mary Cristina most of the time. Although the woman has other relatives, her son was almost totally devoted to her. Moreover, he lived just around the corner, in Calle Herrera.

The camera in front of María Cristina’s house is not the only one being examined at the moment. So far they have been relieved 5 rue Avellanedawhere the victim lived; 1 in a nearby construction site; 2 on America Street; there 4 about San Jose.

After the arrest and the search, Paul’s will be transferred to San Isidro DDI and in the next few hours, an investigative statement will be taken. Then you will be the judge Ricardo Costa who should decide whether the elements collected so far are sufficient to ratify the arrest.
