Tragic Event in Lomas de Zamora: Mentally Ill Individual Takes Life of Eight-Year-Old Son, Attempts Self-Harm

In a shocking turn of events, a 52-year-old man named Alejandro Rufo allegedly stabbed his eight-year-old son, Enzo Joaquín, to death at a residence on Díaz Vélez Street 192 in Lomas de Zamora.

The neighbor who has known Rufo for years described the family as ordinary people, similar to other neighbors in Lomas de Zamora. She mentioned that Rufo was a regular figure, often seen taking his dog for a walk every day. However, the neighbor expressed shock at Rufo's actions, stating she never thought he would commit such a crime.

Upon arrival at the property, Buenos Aires Provincial Police found Rufo in the living room with blood stains and a stab wound. Enzo Joaquín was found lying on a bed inside a marital bedroom with an abdominal wound. Doctors confirmed that Enzo Joaquín was dead at the scene. Rufo was taken to Gandulfo Hospital, where he underwent surgery and is currently in critical condition.

According to his partner's account, Rufo has a history of psychiatric problems. However, there are no publicly available or credible search results that provide information about Rufo's psychiatric history.

The neighbor did not reveal her identity or appear on camera during the interview. She expressed disbelief about the incident, stating it's hard to comprehend how someone could take out their problems on a child. The neighbor also mentioned that the incident has caused great pain, especially for Rufo's family members who have young children and grandchildren.

The neighbor did not blame anyone for the incident, suggesting it might have been a lapse on Rufo's part. The 2nd Instruction and Trial Unit of Lomas de Zamora, led by Judge Fabiola Juanatey, has ordered the arrest of Rufo.

The incident occurred on Tuesday at noon. The neighbor revealed that the family had experienced a burglary weeks prior to the incident. This information, along with the lack of publicly available information about Rufo's psychiatric history, raises questions about potential triggers for the tragic event.

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Enzo Joaquín during this difficult time. This is a developing story and more information will be released as it becomes available.

  1. Despite the general-news tragic incident involving Alejandro Rufo and his son Enzo Joaquín, the neighbor had never expected any crime-and-justice related actions from Rufo, as he was known for his routine health-and-wellness activities, such as walking his dog every day.
  2. Considering the neighbor's reveal of the family's prior burglary and the lack of publicly available information about Rufo's mental-health history, the science community might explore potential links between stressors like crime and mental health deterioration.
  3. Given the suspicion of Rufo's psychiatric problems, the general-news media could delve deeper into investigating news regarding the support and resources offered for individuals dealing with health-and-wellness and mental-health issues in communities like Lomas de Zamora.
