Lucia Perez

Demonstrators from the Not One Less group expressed their outrage over the death of Lucia Perez in the seaside town of Mar del Plata, as Argentina confronts a scourge of drug-related violence.
The 16-year-old's violent death sparked particular outrage as the issue of security replaced inflation as the top concern for Argentines.

Perez was drugged with cocaine, impaled on a spike and suffered "inhumane sexual aggression" that triggered cardiac arrest, Prosecutor Maria Isabel Sanchez told reporters.

Following the attack, Lucia was dumped at a drugs rehab clinic where staff thought she was simply suffering from a cocaine overdose.
Her abductors had washed and dressed her before taking her to the clinic and it was only when clinic staff performed a more detailed examination that they discovered the truth.
Two men - identified by police as Matias Gabriel Farias, 23, and Juan Pablo Offidani, 41 - were arrested after police traced the van used to drop Lucia at the clinic.
