Remembering Our Dead

Sofia Inés Fernández

Sofia died in custody at a police station in what was claimed to be a suicide by the authorities. A subsequent autopsy however suggested that she was killed in custody.

Sofía Fernández, a 39-year-old transgender girl, was found lifeless on April 11 while she was deprived of her liberty in a cell at the 5th Presidente Derqui police station. The officers who were at the police headquarters that night first said that she had died of a sudden death, then that she had committed suicide, although the victim's relatives insist that she was murdered.

Beyond the police account, the autopsy of the victim's body revealed a terrifying fact that caused the case to take an unexpected turn when the Public Prosecutor's Office reported to TN that "Sofía had a thong and a piece of mattress in her throat, which obstructed her airways".

At the moment ten troops accused of breaching the duties of a public official are being investigated by the Justice of Pilar. This Monday a key investigation will be carried out, which could complicate the case even more.

In April 2024 ten police officers were arrested in connection with Sofía's killing. The accused will face charges of homicide and concealment.
