“If my sister did not put her arm, I would stab her in the heart and for Justice it is not enough as proof. The truth is that I am outraged, I almost lost my sister and nobody does anything to stop this.” A lot of anguish but above all anger are contained in the words of Blanca Cabrera, sister of Mariana Soledad Cabrera (32), the young mother who was stabbed to death by her ex-partner, Marino Ángel Dutra (39), in the town of Salto Encantado, ago exactly one week.
The victim is at her home in the Cerro Moreno area, recovering from the injuries to her body, but terrified because she found out that the title of the case would go from “attempted femicide and judicial disobedience” to “damage and minor injuries “, which would mean the prompt release of the defendant who was a fugitive in the farms of the area before being arrested by the Police.
Although for the moment he remains in prison, his possible release would be almost a sentence for the victim, Blanca understands, because “he is obsessed with her and he is not going to stop until he kills her, that guy (by Dutra) is crazy and the entire neighborhood is witnessed the threats he made”. He certainly believes that released, he will attack again.
Separated
The young woman reported that about two months ago her sister had separated from the man and in that instance she requested a measure to restrict the approach due to a complaint for domestic violence, harassment and threats that she had received.
“She had denounced him and asked for the restriction of approach, but he did not accept, he wanted to go back to her, but he drinks a lot, he is violent and several times he tried to hit him,” lamented Blanca, revealing that the morning of the attack her sister was about to lose life. “After she defended herself by putting her arm before her, he took out the knife and stabbed her in the belly again,” she explained and analyzed: “My sister is big, strong, that’s why she didn’t kill her, because she pushed him and managed to escape while he I was still with the knife.”
In this context of pain, fear and uncertainty, the victim lives with his family, under constant risk. “He has nothing to lose, he will follow her wherever,” Blanca said, asking the judicial authorities in whose hands the case is “to consider the seriousness of letting him go because he is going to carry out the threats he made.”
couldn’t get closer
As you are reporting The territorythat of Salto Encantado is a new case of extreme violence against women perpetrated in Misiones by a subject who was prohibited from approaching the victim as a judicial measure to restrict approach was in force and in parallel highlighted the ineffectiveness of this type of measures.
Regardless of the consequences, the violent man appeared at the woman’s home on the morning of Holy Thursday and injured her in front of her own son, with clear intentions of murdering her. He later escaped and was a fugitive for a few hours until he was captured by the Police.
Alert from the hospital
After the bloodshed, the police guard received the alert from the Samic Hospital in Aristóbulo del Valle, informing about the admission of the woman with stab wounds.
Already in the hospital, where she was treated, the victim herself told the details of the attack and directly accused her ex-partner: Marino Ángel Dutra.
According to the medical diagnosis, Mariana suffered a puncture wound in the abdomen, which fortunately did not damage vital organs, and in the right arm.
With the collaboration of the Aristóbulo Radioelectric Command, the Salto Encantado uniforms began looking for Dutra in a large rural area. He was finally arrested and housed in the unit at the disposal of Justice.
Just last Saturday, that is, two days after the attack, the knife with which Dutra injured his ex-partner was found. It is of the butcher type, with a light blue handle and a 20-centimeter blade, which the defendant’s own brother detected in the patio of his house and alerted the Police. It was recognized by the victim as the one used by the attacker.
