Argentina is in shock since two young women and a teenage girl were tortured and murdered – while the crimes were broadcast live on Instagram.

The investigators suspect that the perpetrators are drug dealers and that the approach was intended to warn other gang members against stealing drugs.

The bodies of the two 20-year-olds and the 15-year-old, who had been missing for five days, were found on Wednesday in a property in a suburb of Buenos Aires.

The victims were tortured and murdered while 45 people took part in the crimes in a private live broadcast on Instagram.

The police state that twelve people have been arrested for the murders. According to the police, the victims were lured into a van about 20 kilometers south of Buenos Aires on Friday.
