The Lola Chomnalez Case (Spanish: Caso Lola Chomnalez) was a Uruguayan investigation and judicial process into the murder of an Argentine teenager that occurred on 28 December 2014 off the coast of Uruguay.
After eight years, a man residing in Chuy, was prosecuted on 19 May 2022 with prison for "very especially aggravated homicide" as the author of the murder.[1]
Background
[edit]
Lola Luna Chomnalez was born on 4 November 1999 in Buenos Aires, daughter of Adriana Belmonte and Diego Chomnalez.[2] Granddaughter of chef and writer Beatriz Chomnalez, she attended Secondary School No. 9 in Belgrano.[3] She arrived in Uruguay on December 26, 2014 to vacation with her godmother Claudia Fernández, her husband Hernán Tuzinkevich, and also their two children.[4] It was her first time abroad without her parents, and the following January she was going to travel to New York for her 15th birthday.[5]
Last sighting
[edit]Two days after her arrival, on Sunday, 28 December, Chomnalez went for a walk on the beach with a backpack containing a towel, a book and money.[6] After four hours and seeing that she did not return, Lola's godmother reported her disappearance and contacted her parents who traveled to Uruguay.[7] After she was reported missing, the National Police began a search with sniffer dogs and helicopters, joined by the Navy with boats and a plane.[8]
Discovery of the body
[edit]On 30 December the body was found by a local fisherman and his son in an area of dunes and bushes between Barra de Valizas and Aguas Dulces.[9] Her backpack was found several meters from the body.[10]
