Florencia Mancilla Sentenced After Killing Her Ex-Boyfriend and Recording Him in Agony
A woman in Argentina was sentenced to 8 years in prison for murdering her ex-boyfriend, recording him in agony, and uploading the video to social media
Three years after the crime, a sentence has once again shaken public opinion in Argentina. The court sentenced Florencia Eliana Mancilla, 27, for the murder of her ex-boyfriend, an act she herself recorded on video as the victim lay dying.
The verdict was announced on March 30, 2026: the woman received an 8-year prison sentence for the crime that occurred in 2022 in the city of Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego.
A Crime Recorded and Uploaded to Social Media in 2022
On the night of December 18, 2022, the victim, Alexis Baciocchi, a 42-year-old tattoo artist and music teacher, drove Mancilla home after picking her up from a hotel.
According to the investigation, the woman attacked him with multiple objects: knives, a hammer, and even tools. The man suffered several stab wounds—including one that punctured his lung—as well as blows to the head.
While Baciocchi lay dying on the floor, Mancilla took out her cell phone, recorded herself for several minutes confessing to the attack, and posted the video on Facebook.
In the recording, she said things like:
“I stabbed him, I don’t know how many times.”
She called the police… and waited.
The case reveals a pattern of behavior that baffled even the investigators.
After the attack, the woman:
Called the police
Notified her current partner and her mother
And waited for the officers to arrive
When the man was taken to the hospital, he no longer had vital signs.
She arrived at the trial a free man… and left in custody
Mancilla arrived at the trial a free man, having been released from jail days after the crime because it was determined there were no procedural risks.
However, after the verdict was announced, she was immediately arrested.
Furthermore, the court ordered that she undergo mental health treatment while in custody.
Premeditated crime
The prosecution maintains that the attack was planned:
She allegedly carried concealed knives
She posted prior messages hinting at a possible attack
And there are no formal complaints against the victim for violence
In fact, according to the case file, it was Baciocchi himself who had filed a complaint against her years earlier for harassment.
The crime generated a strong impact not only because of the violence, but also because it was recorded and disseminated by the perpetrator herself, which intensified social rejection.
