Man accused of murder in Argentina found dead in Paraguay

The man accused of murdering his partner in Córdoba, Argentina, has been found dead in Paraguay, closing a chapter in a case that began two months ago. Jan Korzeniecki, a Polish national, was sought by authorities for the killing of Luciana Ojeda, 36. Ojeda had activated her panic button on July 15 before police arrived to find her critically injured. Despite medical efforts, she died, and Korzeniecki had already fled the scene.

Korzeniecki, 45, had been living in Córdoba and reportedly arrived in Argentina for the third time shortly before the incident. Ojeda's family had expressed suspicions about him early on. Her brother, Luciano Ojeda, recounted instances of Korzeniecki's violent behavior, including destroying Ojeda's phone with a hammer days before the murder. A colleague of Ojeda's also testified that the victim had described Korzeniecki as violent.

“

We only have that they showed my sister the man's death certificate.

Interpol officially confirmed Korzeniecki's death and provided a death certificate, which was communicated to Ojeda's family by the prosecutor's office. The cause of death is under investigation by Paraguayan authorities. However, Ojeda's family remains unconvinced. "We only have that they showed my sister the man's death certificate," Luciano stated, expressing doubt and demanding scientific evidence, such as an autopsy, to confirm the death. They believe the reported death date of August 14 or 15 is inconsistent with when he was last seen alive.

“

For us it is a lie, we know that apparently he killed himself on August 14 or 15, on the afternoon of the 14th he was last seen alive, and they found him a few days later. The only thing justice did was show the death certificate. With our lawyer, we are asking them to show us scientific proof, an autopsy and everything.
