Tres Arroyos Tragedy: Man Kills Family Before Attempted Suicide

A tragic event unfolded in Tres Arroyos, Argentina, on June 6th, 2025, when a man murdered his wife and two children before attempting to take his own life. The man, identified as Fernando, had a history of mental health issues, including a persecutory disorder. According to the report, "He had a persecutory complex and had started treatment a couple of years ago." After being laid off from his job three months prior, Fernando purchased a truck. The medication he was taking caused drowsiness, leading him to discontinue it. On the day of the incident, he took his children to school, then killed his wife. He then attempted to kill himself by crashing his car into a grove of trees, but failed. He subsequently drowned his children in a ditch. A local resident stated, "It's just unimaginable, a whole family gone." This horrific incident underscores the urgent need for increased awareness and support for mental health issues. The case will likely be closed due to the perpetrator's death.
