Argentina shaken as women’s footballer Florencia Guinazu strangled by husband

Florencia Guinazu, a 30-year-old member of Argentino de Mendoza’s First Division Women’s 11-a-side football team, met a tragic end at the hands of her husband in their Guaymallen residence. Ignacio Agustin Noto, aged 32, took his own life by hanging after committing this heinous act, sending shockwaves across Argentina.

The discovery of the crime came after concerned neighbors found a distressing note from Noto, whom Florencia had reported in November 2023, urging them to summon the police due to their children being left unattended. The note reads, “Call the police, the kids are alone”.

An autopsy revealed Florencia’s cause of death as asphyxiation from strangulation. This heartbreaking incident underscores the urgent need for addressing domestic violence and protecting vulnerable individuals within communities.
