Enrique Arancibia Clavel in Buenos Aires in 2000, during his trial on charges that he assassinated
a former Chilean general.

Mr. Arancibia had been a member of an ultraright terrorist group that had killed another Chilean Army chief, Gen. Rene Schneider, in Chile in 1970. After that killing, Mr. Arancibia fled to Argentina, where he later became Chile’s liaison with the Argentine secret police.

His body, with 10 to 12 stab wounds to his chest and back, was discovered by his partner late Thursday night, according to an Argentine official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The Argentine police had not arrested any suspects by late Friday, and were investigating several leads, including robbery, a crime of passion or a disgruntled worker. Mr. Arancibia had been running a taxi business with four cars and four drivers.

In 2000, he was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of the general and his wife, and to 12 years for the kidnapping and torture of two Chilean women who had been living in Argentina. Mr. Arancibia was freed on parole in 2007 for technical reasons and a calculation of time served, according to news reports.
