Violent murder of 18-year-old sparks indignation across Argentina
Brutal stabbing of an 18-year-old woman by her policeman ex-boyfriend sparks anger and outrage across Argentina.
The brutal stabbing of an 18-year-old woman by her policeman ex-boyfriend has sparked anger and outrage across Argentina, prompting protests and demands that the authorities step up their efforts to tackle femicide.
On Monday night, Úrsula Bahillo was found dead in a rural area near the small town of Rojas in Buenos Aires Province. The victim has suffered at least 30 stab wounds, with severe injuries to her neck.
Bahillo's former boyfriend, Buenos Aires Province police officer Matías Martínez – who had previously been reported to the police for a string of violent attacks against women – was swiftly arrested for the fatal attack.
According to reports, when police officers arrived at the scene Martínez fled the area. He was later found with stab wounds from an apparent suicide attempt. He is currently hospitalised in Pergamino.
