Pablo García Cejas

In January 2015, Pablo García was visiting a chalet in Punta del Este named "Los Picaflores", where he met 56-year-old Claudia von Graevenitz. She gave him her phone number, telling her new acquaintance that they had something important to discuss. After they met, Von Graevenitz offered him 90,000 pesos and a job in exchange for killing her brother, 58-year-old Alejandro von Graevenitz, a felon with previous convictions, so she could acquire the family home. At first, García refused to accept, but was allowed to think about it, with Von Graevenitz telling him to contact her in person again. On April 2, García travelled to the Von Graevenitz residence to bring Alejandro some items belonging a friend of his. He was invited in, and at the moment when Alejandro turned his back to wash some dishes in the sink, García remembered Claudia's offer. Deciding that he would kill him then and there, he grabbed an iron bar he found lying nearby and began beating Alejandro on the head repeatedly, leaving him seriously injured. He later discarded the iron bar in a landfill, which was later found by the authorities. When found, Alejandro von Graevenitz was still breathing, but died shortly after he was transported to the Pan de Azúcar Hospital. A few days after the killing, Claudia gave the promised sum to García and took him on as an employee at Los Picaflores.
