A relationship tainted by conflicts
After what happened, the parents of Marcia Noemí Mattoso told El Territorio that over the years of living with the aggressor, the victim filed several complaints of violence and a ban on approaching was currently in force. It is also true that on more than one occasion they resumed a clearly toxic relationship. The last complaint, the last alert dismissed by the authorities, occurred in early December.
“He manipulated my daughter a lot and she didn’t see reason. That’s why I went to the police station and asked to be arrested. He even sent threatening messages to us. But they did nothing, he continued free and attacked my daughter in front of everyone, ”said Mariela, the victim’s mother.
For his part, Carlos Mattoso mentioned that the attacker “did not even respect his children. He never liked working and lived on his salary; but when the money ran out, he was crazy ”.
In this context, concerned about the situation of their eldest daughter, the week before the event they asked another daughter to accompany her in Villa Bonita, at least for a few days. They never imagined that the girl would witness the brutal attack.
In this sense, the father begged that “now the authorities take seriously what he is capable of doing, because for nine years he made my daughter’s life hell.”
For her part, the mother remarked that “there were complaints and restrictions, but the Police only started to move now. When I asked for help for my daughter, the Villa Bonita police station told me that they couldn’t do it without the authorization of a judge. Then the worst has to happen for them to act”.
