Neighbors say they were woken by the women’s screams as an inferno ripped through the building. The suspect, Justo Fernando Barrientos, is alleged to have fought with the women in an attempt to stop them escaping the flames, before fleeing to the roof where he attempted suicide, and was later arrested.

Pamela Fabiana Cobas, 52, died almost immediately. Her partner, Mercedes Roxana Figueroa, also 52, suffered burns on more than 90% of her body and died of organ failure two days later. Andrea Amarante, 42, suffered burns on more than 75% of her body and died on 12 May.

The fourth victim, 49-year-old Sofía Castro Riglos, remains in hospital. Thirty occupants were also evacuated, with seven others hospitalized for burns.

The attack has shocked the nation previously known for its progressive LGBTQ+ laws. “They were set on fire for being lesbians,” a member of a neighborhood association told more than 200 protesters on Monday evening.

This false flag stuff is getting out of control. Sounds like a Juicy Smolay deal.

“But I’m guessing there’s a real story in there somewhere.”

Yep. This has all of the earmarks of an NGO False Flag (i.e., done by Biden’s people), and when one thinks about it, these types of crimes don’t seem to happen in countries that have kicked out NGOs, even though some of those countries are FAR TOUGHER when it comes to protecting their kids (Hungary and a very large country east of Hungary come to mind, for starters).

Whenever the degenerate homosexuals commit murder the same Guardian prints out a story how it is homophobic to blame queers (i.e. Audrey Hale).
