The town of Campo Grande, in the province of Misiones, was marked by an episode that shocked a local police headquarters. A 63-year-old woman entered the police station's guard and, in front of the shift, starred in an act of self-harm while trying to set herself on fire.
According to the official information, the woman broke into the agency carrying a bottle with alcohol, a lighter and a backpack, elements that she used on the spot. The episode happened around 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday.
The woman sprayed herself with alcohol and lit her clothes in the presence of the uniformed, which unleashed a fire on her own body that, due to the rapid intervention of the agents, was not fatal.
The police personnel acted with haste, quelling the flames and providing first aid. The protagonist was initially transferred to the local hospital and then referred to the SAMIC Hospital in Oberá to receive more complex care.
According to the medical part disseminated by the Missions Police, the patient has burns on approximately 35% of the body, with special commitment to the face, and remains hospitalized under intensive care assisted with mechanical respirator.
The fact, registered by the camera system of the unit, was reflected in the police proceedings, along with the kidnapping of the objects used by the woman. The Territory, a local media, detailed that, moments before setting itself on fire, the woman would have expressed to the police personnel: "Because of what they did to my son." The phrase provided a first clue about the possible background of the fact.
If no complications arise, the patient could overcome the critical picture, although she remains under strict observation. His admission to the operating room is planned to perform a surgical cleaning of the injuries and, if the evolution is favorable, he will seek to progressively withdraw respiratory assistance so that he can begin to breathe by his own means. By medical indication, no toxicological studies were performed at the time of admission.
At the moment, the authorities are continuing investigations to reconstruct the context prior to the incident and to determine the personal and family factors that could influence the conduct of the woman. The case is in the hands of the Court of Instruction No. 1 of Oberá.
The film material of the fact is already part of the cause, while the researchers advance in the analysis of the victim's background and environment.
