A 31-year-old woman was the victim of a attempted femicide in the Buenos Aires town of Saint Ferdinand when he told his ex-partner that he did not want to continue with the relationship. The woman was stabbed in the back while the aggressor tried to commit suicide by stabbing the knife into his chest several times.
The incident began when the girl, identified as Gabriela Nunezappeared last Sunday afternoon at the address of the aggressor, a house on Entre Ríos Street at 1400 in the aforementioned town in the north of Greater Buenos Aires, to remove his belongings and end the bond.
There he met his ex-partner, Luis Alberto Gomez, 37, who tried to persuade her to continue the relationship. Given her refusal, she Núñez was attacked with a knife by the man with whom she had begun a love affair months ago after separating from her husband, with whom she has children.
According to the victim’s account, Gómez would have had violent attitudes that made her decide to break up the couple and tell him that she was leaving him to return to her home in Lomas de Zamora, with her husband and children.
One of the investigators revealed to Télam that the moment before he began to stab his victim, the now-detained man hugged her and told her: “If you’re not going to be with me, you’re not going to be with anyone.”
