This young mother-of-two has been found dead and half-buried in a plastic bag after going missing for over 10 days in Argentina’s lockdown.

Camila Aldana Tarocco, 26, was last seen alive on 4th April as she left her home in the city of Moreno, in the eastern Argentine province of Buenos Aires, to go to the back to take out her child support money.

Her ex-husband Ariel Alberto Gonzalez was supposed to take her to a bus station so she could then get to the bank, but she never arrived at the financial institution.

Her family reported her as missing and a search mission using police dogs was launched.

Her body was found over 10 days later, reportedly half-buried in the ground in plastic in the neighbourhood where she was living with her current boyfriend. She was identified by her tattoos.

Local media report the boyfriend was initially arrested before being released and her ex-husband has now been detained as the main suspect.

Reports state his relatives have said that they saw him on the day of the crime and he allegedly told them he had killed Gonzalez, who was mother to his two children aged five and seven years old.

Local media report the suspect had broken the home arrest imposed on him because of a domestic violence case involving another woman.

The investigation is ongoing and the suspect remains in detention. Forensic tests are underway to determine the cause of death but the results have not been revealed-
