Cops have arrested a 17-year-old boy for raping, torturing and killing his 17-year-old classmate.

Luciana Sequeira left her home in the Argentine village of Villa Atamisqui ostensibly to pick up some photocopies from her school on 17th June.

She was later found unconscious and covered in blood in a shelter that was reportedly being operated clandestinely as a hotel where rooms can be rented by the hour.

She was taken to hospital, but she passed away shortly after she was admitted, at around 9 pm.

Despite testing positive for COVID-19, doctors revealed that Luciana died of heart failure from hypovolaemic shock following a brutal sexual assault.

She had burns on her leg and back, possibly caused by a cigarette or lighter, and she had a cut in the genital area from which she had bled profusely.

She was found in the hotel room by workers, who realised that a teenage male had paid for the room around an hour earlier and had later left alone.

The suspect, who is a 17-year-old minor, was arrested for sexual assault, a charge that may be upgraded to femicide following the victim’s death.

He has not been named, but he is said to be Luciana’s classmate, and he is also reported to be the son of a policeman, which Luciana’s family worries may help him to get off scot-free.

Luciana leaves behind two grieving parents and a sister, who were unaware of any relationship she may have been in.

According to her dad, she was “super studious”, “loved to play football” and wanted to be a police officer.

Following her death, a massive protest rocked Villa Atamisqui, which has a population of just 7,809, demanding justice.
