Argentine authorities have requested international assistance from Interpol to locate a 45-year-old Polish national, identified by local media as Jan K., following the death of his 38-year-old partner, Luciana Ojeda. According to the Cordoba-based newspaper La Voz del Interior, the incident is being investigated as a femicide, a homicide qualified by the intimate relationship between the victim and the suspect.
Investigation Into the Death of Luciana Ojeda
The investigation began on July 15, when the body of Luciana Ojeda was discovered in her apartment in the Nueva Cordoba district. Prosecutors characterized the death as suspicious from the outset. Based on initial evidence, officials are treating the case as a gender-based homicide. La Voz del Interior reports that the legal classification stems from the domestic bond between the victim and the primary suspect, Jan K.
Reports from Radio Cadena 3 indicate that the victim had previously reported domestic violence involving a former partner. As a result, Ojeda was equipped with an emergency alert system—a device or application designed to summon police immediately during a crisis. Official reports confirm that she activated this alarm shortly before her death. When emergency services arrived, they found her unconscious in the apartment. Despite attempts to resuscitate her, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Background of the Suspect and Victim
Local media outlets have provided details on the relationship between the two individuals. According to La Voz del Interior, Ojeda and the Polish national met online. Jan K. had traveled to Cordoba for the third time on July 6, eventually moving into the apartment with Ojeda. Relatives of the victim told reporters that the man allegedly exhibited signs of alcohol abuse and violent behavior prior to the incident.
