“Alicia’s state of health is very complicated and she asked us to pray for her. She was stabbed twice and pierced her lung, liver and diaphragm. They might not stop her blood loss, at first, but later they explained to us that they were able to close the wound.
Plunged into despair, Horacio spoke of his aunt. Yesterday at noon a criminal entered the woman’s small shoe store, on Juan Vucetich avenue and Luis Galvani street in the Ituzaingó neighborhood of Córdoba, and stabbed her to take a cell phone.
Alicia Bulnes (52) left her shoe store badly injured with both hands on her stomach, leaving behind her a trail of blood on the sidewalk.
He fell to the floor and, between screams, received first aid from his own neighbors.
After a few minutes, which for those present were eternal, she was transferred by an emergency service from that point in the southeast area of the city of Córdoba to the Emergency Hospital.
After a complex surgical intervention, the director of the establishment, Mariano Marino, reported that the victim was stable, staying in the critical care area.
The prognosis was guarded.
Due to the fact, the Police are looking for a man in his 40s who entered the premises alone, minutes before the students from the Carlos María de Alvear school, which is located in front of the business, left.
However, the investigators did not rule out that the perpetrator acted with the support of someone else.
Until late at night, they reviewed the images captured by a video camera from one of the businesses near Alicia’s premises.
fight and march
After the robbery, the residents of the area announced a march in the neighborhood square that will take place this followingnoon, starting at 6:00 p.m.
The stabbing, the stupefied look of the children who were leaving the school located in front and the neighborhood clamor was responded to by an abundant police presence. However, the victim’s neighbors said that this is a “liberated area.”
“An hour before they entered Alicia’s, on Guillermo Harvey street, the occupants of the sadly famous red motorcycle tried to steal a bicycle. They might not because the neighbors, and some workers who fixed the asphalt, did not allow it. But it’s an everyday thing, ”said a person close to the family with bitterness, while she pointed to the sidewalk in front of the premises.
The Vucetich merchants agreed with that feeling. “There is a dome (camera with 360 degree vision) one block away and other video surveillance equipment two blocks away, but the Police never see anything. A red motorbike comes and goes down the avenue, stealing at all hours, and they can never be caught,” said a merchant.
In the area of the events, the frontists record repeated crimes in the morning hours. “They take advantage of the fact that the stops are full and that they are coming back from some party. Before going to sleep, they go through the avenues and rob the kids from the schools and their parents. We calculate that there is one theft per hour,” reported a storekeeper.
But in this case, the commotion increased among the neighbors because of the type of person Alicia is and because of the cruelty she was subjected to.
According to those who know her, she is a “submissive and calm” woman. No one can explain the outcome of the story since they do not believe that she might have resisted.
As explained by his relatives, the victim of the attack had started the business thanks to the money from an inheritance from his brother who died of coronavirus less than two years ago. Alicia’s husband might not work due to an illness that he still has to deal with.
