Mario Frieiro is an
Argentine murderer who was sentenced on November 26,
2007 to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife
in 1998.
A night in 1998, Frieiro had a
discussion with his wife and attacked her with a
handkerchief. He strangled and murdered her while
the little son of the couple was watching the
horrible crime that his father was committing
against his mother.
After murdered her, Frieiro
buried his wife under his bed and threatened to his
son with the motive that he never say nothing about
the crime. The boy didn't say anything until 2005
when he was a teenager. The ex-little boy but now a
teenager broke in cry with his girlfriend and
confessed that his father had murdered his mother.
Four hours later, Frieiro was
arrested and accused of murder. When the son said it,
the police went to the Frieiro's house and
effectively, the police found the rests of a woman
under Frieiro's bed. He was officially arrested and
accused of murder.
The trial began on October, 2007.
During one month, a lot of evidence was presented
against Frieiro but the principal evidence was the
testimony of his son, who was an unfortunately
witness of the murder of his own mother. Also,
Frieiro confessed the crime:
FRIEIRO: - "I loved her. For
this I wanted that she returned with me and I
forgave her at all times. But the life together with
her was impossible. We had discussions at all
times...at all times, but I was in love and I wanted
that she returned with me. That night (was raining),
I was cooking something while I was with Pablito (my
son); at a moment, she enters to the house and came
to me. So, I asked her: 'Where were you'? and she
answered me: 'What's it matter to you?!' and she
began to throw things against me. I had prepared the
food, she throw the pan with oil against me, I
burned me and in a moment, I was in a dangerous
discussion."
"If you ask me if I murdered
her with a gun, I don't know. If I stabbed her, I
don't know. If she died by heart attack, I don't
know. If I strangled her, I don't know. I got out, I
had not cigarettes; I returned to the house and she
was dead. I tried to save her, but she was dead. I
spent three or four hours with the body but......
she was dead, hard and white like a paper."
