On June 29, 1892, in the town of Necochea, located in the southeast of Argentina in the province of Buenos Aires, two young children were discovered brutally murdered in their home. The victims were six-year-old Ponciano Carballo Rojas and his four-year-old sister, Feliza. Their throats had been slit. Their mother, Francesca Rojas, also sustained a knife injury to her neck, although her wounds were superficial, and Francesca apparently survived the attack.
Francesca initially claimed that their neighbor, Ramón Velázquez, was responsible for the attack, alleging that he killed her children because she had rejected his advances. Later, she changed her testimony, asserting that Velázquez had been attempting to take her children away from her on her husband’s instructions, as he was planning to leave her. Whatever the truth may be, Ramón Velázquez was arrested on suspicion of murder.
