Woman dies at the hands of her ex-partner after violent attack in Puerto Colombia
A 31-year-old woman, mother of three children, was the victim of femicide in Puerto Colombia. Her ex-partner attacked her on the Via al Mar
On Monday, December 30, a tragic case of femicide was recorded in Puerto Colombia, Atlántico. The victim was identified as Giselle Celin Villalobos, a 31-year-old woman, a stylist by profession and mother of three small children. According to the authorities, Giselle was attacked by her ex-partner, Jorge Luis Barreto Barceló, on the Via al Mar, at kilometer 95.
The unfortunate episode occurred when the couple was traveling on a motorcycle. Witnesses said that the two began to argue, which led Barreto Barceló to stop the vehicle in a wooded area and attack the woman with a knife on multiple occasions. Giselle was seriously injured at the scene, while the attacker continued to attack her without mercy.
Emergency teams quickly went to the scene and transferred Villalobos to the Portoazul Clinic, where, despite medical efforts, she died due to the severity of her injuries.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim had ended her relationship with Barreto Barceló five months ago due to episodes of death threats and previous conflicts. At the time of the attack, the woman managed to identify her attacker by saying his name, making the work of the authorities easier.
Barreto Barceló, who tried to flee on a black Boxer motorcycle with license plates DDQ 23H, was captured shortly after by police officers and placed at the disposal of the Attorney General's Office on charges of femicide.
Giselle Celin Villalobos was a woman much loved by her family, especially by her mother and three sisters. This act of violence has deeply shocked social media users.
