to ask questions of his wife Karen confirmed that Rolando was taking medication to remove dark spots on his skin for Specialists this information was highly suspicious tests revealed a significant excess of calcium oxalate crystals in Rolando's system which is is a characteristic sign of poisoning by ethylene glycol the main component of anti-freeze for cars the investigation into this strange and Unexpected death of Rolando became a high priority for authorities the prosecutor's office was actively investigating the neighborhood where the Aquino couple lived neighbors became important Witnesses reporting that Karen had repeatedly given her husband some unknown

medication they were aware that she used these medications to go to a party without her husband however neighbors also expressed doubts about what happened to Rolando's son which led investigators to think and consider the theory that Karen may have only wanted to temporarily sedate her husband rather than take his life however the findings of the technology crimes unit officers completely ruled out this hypothesis requests for various forensic examinations were sent and Karen the wife of the deceased was thoroughly questioned many contradictions arose during the interrogation the investigating officers called on Karen to name the substance

she had slipped to her husband before his death the woman claimed that it was just a skin blemish remedy and that she had administered it through an IV however when she was asked to provide a vial of the solution Karen said that the housekeeper had already thrown the drug away a further interview was then conducted with the housekeeper Claudia Cortez who denied Karen's statement regarding the discarded vial she also reported that she had over heard a conversation between the couple in which Rolando expressed dissatisfaction with the medication he was receiving Karen was detained during the

engine for information on the deadliest poisons and how to clear her search history in addition records of her two ethylene glycol orders from an online store were found the agency for toxic substances as well as the US centers for Disease Control and prevention found that it is a synthetic substance that absorbs water and is used in the production of anti-freeze this product is odorless has a sweet taste and is extremely dangerous to humans with the preliminary results of the forensic examination and all the information discovered the prosecutor's office charged Karen with willfully poisoning Rolando with

a poisonous substance diluted with orange juice consumption of this beverage caused Rolando's Health to seriously deteriorate and he died a series of strange and tragic events in the Aquino family forced the authorities to take drastic action by mid-February with enough evidence against Karen an aggravated murder charge was filed in parallel suspicions surfaced as to the cause of 9-year-old Elias's death triggering a new investigation the prosecutor's office decided to conduct a detailed investigation into the boy's medical history the mother claimed that Elias was fully healthy and active and that he had suddenly gone into a coma

while at his father's house from which he never came out the boy's death certificate indicated that the cause was a malfunction of his internal systems and cerebral thrombosis however investigators persistently doubted that Elias at age nine could have died of such causes especially given his overall health the prosecutor's office requested information about possible purchases of ethylene glycol and received a response confirming that Karen purchased the poison on July 2nd 2019 shortly before the boy arrived at the Aquino home information from Elias's relatives also confirmed that Karen insisted on cremating his body but the birth mother

rejected the idea and preferred to bury her son the evidence gathered was enough for prosecutor Claudia Rios to file new aggravated murder charges against Karen on March 4th related to the poisoning of Elias on March 14th a judge ordered pre-trial detention for the woman who tried to appeal but the judge rejected it affirming that she should remain Behind Bars until the trial began that trial began 10 months later and was an important step in unraveling this complex and dark story The long-awaited Trial began in the Mendoza Criminal Court attracting public and media attention November 28th

2022 was the beginning of the Nationwide trial of Karen oovo two indictments were were pending the first led by prosecutor Fernando guto concerned the murder of Elias and the second involving Claudia Rios touched on the murder of Rolando when the trial began Rolando's eldest son javiera Kino who was only 15 years old appeared as a plaintiff supported by Council prosecutor guzo argued that Karen killed first Elias and then his father by giving them ethylene glycol mixed with orange juice this led to the severe poisoning and death of the son and father Karen's defense Representatives sought

to refute the charges against her they argued that Rolanda was violent and abusive to their client and that there was no credible evidence to support the allegations the defense also stressed that Karen had no motive for the murder why would she kill Elias obviously little Elias could not have posed a threat Karen's attorney pointed out that the house cars and business belonged only only to her he also argued that her client had not made any purchases through her phone and why would she have searched the internet for information about poisons when she had already used

ethylene glycol to poison Elias as the prosecutor claimed the lawyer emphasized that while the actions that led to the deaths of the Father and Son are heinous it does not give the right to indict a person until they are fully proven guilty the defense attempted to sew doubt among the jury by arguing that the charges against Karen were false and Karen claimed that the anti-freeze purchase could have been made by her partner by hacking into her account she also claimed she had an alibi for when her husband was poisoned on February 6th Karen was not

at home when he began having health problems the defendant known to the media as the GU Malon poisoner was given the opportunity to speak after the initial phase of the trial was over judge Diego Liberty allowed her to speak and Karen passionately argued that she was being accused of a horrific crime she did not commit it was extremely painful for her to realize this especially since she was the mother of two young daughters the court hearing continued and it was the turn of witness testimony that revealed new aspects of the case the prosecution decided to

address several questions to Karen prosecutor guzo focusing on key points asked her if Karen had suggested that her son Rolando be cremated to this question Karen responded emphatically that the decision on this matter was not up to her and she had never made any such suggestion the prosecution called as Witnesses relatives of the deceased to reveal further details of what had happened solidad Elias's mother told the court that after her son's death Rolando relayed to her Karen's words in which she suggested that Elias's body be cremated so that both families could keep the boy's ashes

however solidad rejected the idea she also shared her memories of meeting me Rolando at the cemetery where she was told about Karen's jealousy according to her Karen even slept in a separate bed that the relationship between Rolando and Karen was so tainted that the couple slept separately another witness was Carolina the mother of Rolando's first child she confirmed that according to her ex-husband the couple slept separately but karolina herself had not had any interaction with Karen prior to the incident however on the morning of February 8th Karen herself called her to inform her that Rolando

was sick and in the hospital Karen told karolina that her husband had probably taken some medication and was feeling ill She also asked Carolina to help her unlock her husband's cell phone claiming that she had suspicions that he was seeing another woman Carolina was shocked to learn of Rolando's condition as they had seen each other just a few days ago and he seemed perfectly healthy she revealed that when she arrived at the hospital Karen was already there and had gone to see the doctors Caroline wasn't allowed out inside so she was left waiting later as

she was leaving the hospital Karen told her that no one else was there and everyone had left this made Caroline very suspicious and she demanded an explanation from the doctors to which the doctor announced that the patient had lost Consciousness and was not responding to treatment Caroline then went to the hospital secretary and complained after talking to Karen karolina learned that Rolando had taken medication for skin blemishes after which he had had an allergic reaction she claimed that the medication bottle no longer existed because the housekeeper had thrown it away all these details added to

the mystery of this complex case the trial continued and now doctors and experts stood before the jury to present forensic evidence and the results of a psychological examination this evidence threw light on details that had gone unnoticed earlier Dr Ivana Marinelli a pediatrician at the hospital described how she car preped for Elias in July 2019 when the boy was hospitalized she described that Elias was brought to the medical facility with severe breathing difficulties and urgently required intubation he also underwent a CT scan which revealed a deep cerebral thrombosis Elias was given a course of intensive

care the doctor also confirmed that the symptoms that Elias had were consistent with ethylene glycol poisoning this included impaired Consciousness Restless and a subsequent coma accompanied by a blood clotting disorder despite the best efforts of medical personnel the boy's condition worsened and after 5:00 p.m. on July 12th cardiac and respiratory arrest ensued doctors tried to resuscitate Elias for 50 minutes with the participation of his father but all efforts were feudal he was pronounced dead at 6:00 p.m. the jury also read the results of Karen's psychological examination conducted at the request of the prosecution in their

findings the experts emphasized that Karen had lied and concealed the truth she was presented as a person seeking to create an image of a decent person but in reality she was characterized as cold and cruel in their conclusions the experts also noted that a psychological examination was conducted immediately after Karen's husband's death but did not reveal any emotional effects related to the loss of her spouse this raised doubts about Karen's sincerity and characterized her as a cold oldold blooded and self-focused woman the examiners found evidence of latent hostility and impulsive behavioral reactions in Karen finally

prosecutor guzo expressed doubt that Karen was a victim of gender-based violence as she portrayed herself in her testimony all of this information described the true psychological profile of the defendant the long weeks of tense waiting and continuous Court hearings came to a close the trial brought many people together in the courtroom their eyes fixed tensely on the jury and the judge awaiting the decision that would bring Justice to this complex and tragic story the prosecutor in moving for a judgment of conviction against Karen assured the jury that all the evidence gathered strongly suggested that she

murder with evidence of extreme cruelty the defense on the other hand insisted that there was insufficient evidence to fully prove her client's guilt the defense attorney argued that a person can be good or bad but that it is not always related to the commission of a crime and that for their client the death of Rolando and his son was an incredible tragedy and a sad event however despite the arguments of the defense Karen oo has put herself on the list of Argentine criminals who poisoned their victims after a long silence and tense waiting for the
