Remembering Our Dead

Azul Semeñenko

Azul's body was found wrapped in a plastic bag and dumped in a canal. She had been missing for a month.

The Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF) of Neuquén reported this Wednesday that the person found dead last Tuesday in a canal in the Valentina Norte area has been identified : Azul Semeñenko.

According to the preliminary autopsy report prepared by the Judicial Branch's Forensic Medical Corps, the victim suffered stab wounds to the chest and arms, as well as fractures to the face, injuries that caused her death. When it was confirmed that the woman was trans, the investigation was classified as a transfeminicide.

Azul worked at a Victim Assistance Center which supported people in vulnerable situations and had last been seen before attending a medical appointment. Her murder caused widespead public outrage in Argentina.

"We last saw her on Wednesday the 24th. She showed up for work, and on the 25th, which happened to be her 49th birthday, we held a different activity to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Victim Assistance Center at the Government House. She didn't show up," Evangelina González, a psychologist and coworker, told LM Nequén.

"She didn't show up for work, even though she usually did it rigorously. Azul is a very responsible woman with her job and would let us know if she was absent," González said.

On the 25th, around 4:20 a.m., her phone hit an antenna near the Limay River. The search in the area was intensified, however, but as of last week, there were no results. Following her disappearance, marches have been held in recent weeks to demand results in the case.
