  • Investigators in Caazapá, Paraguay, found knives and part of a victim's finger near the body of a teenage girl.

Investigators in Caazapá, Paraguay, have discovered knives and a portion of a missing finger near the remains of 14-year-old Roselín Florentín Gómez. The findings come after the initial discovery of the teenager's body in the area.

The prosecutor's office is actively involved in the ongoing investigation. Fiscal Laury Vázquez confirmed that several knives with significant sharpness were recovered, suggesting they may have been used in the crime. All collected evidence will be sent to Asunción for laboratory analysis to establish any link to the victim.

During a procedure on Friday, investigators located the missing finger, which had not been recovered during the initial search. "We found precisely a part of the finger that was missing; we summoned the fire department. That part was found, probably last night due to the lack of lighting not everything could be extracted," Vázquez stated.

The recovered knives are considered crucial evidence. The prosecutor's office aims to use forensic analysis to connect them directly to the case and potentially identify the perpetrator. The investigation continues as authorities work to piece together the events leading to the teenager's death.
