Argentinian police got a crucial clue in their pursuit of a fugitive killer and rapist in the worst way possible last Friday (November 15).
Fabiana Sirino, an eight-year-old who had disappeared while returning to her home from school in the 25 de Mayo town in Argentina, was found by her sister on the verge of losing her life and used her last remaining strength to reveal the identity of her killer.
The family of the girl underwent an immediate search on their own after they noticed the 8-year-old missing, with her older sister finding her suffering from serious stab wounds in a forest about 650 feet from their house, alerting her parents afterward.
It was sadly too late for Fabiana, who was bleeding profusely and had been sexually abused moments prior. Her dad desperately took her to the hospital, and on the way there, she whispered that it had been the family’s neighbor who attacked her.

“Nanico did that to me,” Fabiana said, referring to the nickname of 34-year-old Marcelo Daniel Muller. “Look at me, I’m going to die. My heart hurts,” she reportedly said before taking her final breath.
The revelation took the family by surprise, as they had grown to trust the 34-year-old, who even feigned innocence and visited the family shortly after the crime was committed to supposedly “help” find Fabiana.

The girl’s mother talked with local news outlets, explaining that she had spoken to Muller the day before the incident and that he talked to her about wanting to sell her a machete and a flashlight.

Inhabitants of the town of 25 de Mayo said to authorities that they had seen Muller suspiciously hanging around the school where Fabiana attended in the days before the attack.
Upon being informed of the identity of the perpetrator, police mobilized and arrested the neighbor, who remains in custody under suspicion of murder until a court hearing officially declares him guilty.

“She was such a loving girl, with her whole life ahead of her,” the mother told a local outlet. “I have no words to explain how there are such evil people in this world capable of doing such harm to an eight-year-old girl.”

Argentinians took to social media to express their horror and anger about what happened and demanded the most severe of punishments for the rapist.
“Death penalty for all murderous rapists because for the innocent it already exists!” an Argentinian netizen wrote, sharing the disturbing news on X.
“I can’t even state what I want done to this piece of s— because X would close my account,” another said.

The murder of eight-year-old Fabiana Sirino comes at the same time as two other killings of women that day and a fourth one who was able to escape with her life, as reported by local sources.
In March, local non-profit La Casa del Encuentro revealed that the country had experienced 61 femicides as of that date, an increase of 8% when compared to the same period last year.
Comments in Spanish have been translated into English with the help of a native speaker.
“He should be erased from society,” wrote one reader, as others joined in to demand justice for Fabiana
