Claudia Schaefer (44) and Fernando Farre (52) were a couple going through a divorce process. They lived in one of Buenos Aires' (Argentina) wealthiest neighborhoods (Recoleta) and had a country house at Martindale.
According to Claudia's lawyer, she had obtained a restraining order against Fernando on August 3, after they had a heated argument in which he ended up choking her with his knee if front of their 3 kids (8, 11, & 13 years old), one of whom is autistic.
In the restraining order she also mentions he had been in psychological and psychiatric treatment ever since he lost his job in October 2014 (Claudia had no intentions of staying with the man who'd lost his lucrative job).
Somehow they agreed to live separately, and she stayed in their Recoleta place, while Fernando stayed at the Country Club. One day, Claudia made arrangements to return to the County House to pick up some of her clothes and belongings.
On August 22, 2015, they had a meeting in the County house, Claudia accompanied by her lawyer, and Fernando by his mother. At one point, the estranged couple were left alone in the kitchen, where they started arguing.
Fernando supposedly took 2 knives from the kitchen and kept pushing Claudia into a walk in closet, where things got physical. He locked the door, and started to choke her. He then slashed her throat with one of the knives.
The screams alerted the lawyer and Fernando's mother who rushed to get to the fighting couple by breaking the closet's windows from the outside, and trying to tear the door down.
Fernando also stabbed Claudia in the chest, who quickly bled out and died. Fernando, who was a business mogul, came out of the closet, sat in a garden chair and waited there for the police to come for him, apparently not resisting arrest.
