Police cadet son Kevin Berazategui, 20, wrote on his Facebook page: "I will love you for ever.

"The 20 years I spent by your side were beautiful."

Julio Pla, Head of Surgery at Lucio Molas Hospital in Santa Rosa, 350 miles south west of Buenos Aires, said: "The dead woman arrived at hospital with injuries to her breasts.

"She denied everything at first but then confessed she had injected Vaseline into them.

"I've never seen a case like this. The human body has antibodies to remove bacteria and viruses but it hasn't got any mechanisms against this type of product.

"Other people using vaseline like this are putting themselves in danger."
