Nancy Godoy, a 52-year-old rural teacher from Corrientes province, was found dead on Wednesday, five weeks after she went missing. At least five individuals have been arrested in connection with what police suspect to be a femicide. The Argentine Education Workers Confederation (CTERA) called for a national teachers' strike and a day of mourning in Godoy's memory.

The investigation aims to uncover the circumstances surrounding her death and assign the appropriate blame. The main suspects are Irineo Zarza, 34, a foreman at El Curupí estate, and Felipe Sandoval, 55, also a foreman at the ranch. Rosa Leguizamón, a neighbor, and Nahuel Rojas, her partner, were also arrested due to inconsistencies in their statements.

Forensic evidence, including burned clothing and knives, was discovered at a shack near the school. Godoy was last seen on October 6, and her body was discovered after a three-week search. The case has sparked calls for justice from teachers' unions, who highlight poor working conditions faced by rural educators.
