New details have emerged about María Luzmar Caiti Rivero, the merchant and mother of three killed by her truck driver partner in a brutal attack near Mercado Central in La Matanza, amid ongoing concerns over gender-based violence.
Following the shocking incident captured on three minutes of security footage—where truck driver G.M.D. beat 36-year-old Bolivian national María Luzmar Caiti Rivero before fatally running her over with his Volvo 420 banana truck at the Circunvalación and Del Cultivo intersection—additional personal details have surfaced. The victim was a merchant and devoted mother of three children, intensifying the family tragedy. Witnesses detained the intoxicated aggressor until police arrived; he remains in custody as prosecutor Adrián Arribas investigates for prior violence, treachery, and gender motives, with potential life imprisonment. This femicide underscores the urgent need for stronger protections against the rising wave of gender violence in the region.
