Argentine police have arrested a woman, the niece of a previous suspect, in connection with the torture and killing of three young women. The victims, aged 15 and 20, were allegedly lured to a house and murdered as a gang punishment, with the crime livestreamed. This arrest brings the total to seven, with authorities also seeking a Peruvian drug trafficker as the alleged mastermind. The horrific killings, tied to drug trafficking and referred to as 'narco-femicide,' have sparked protests and highlighted concerns over rising gender violence in Argentina amidst government cuts to relevant programs.
