"I'm not giving more, friend, I'm not giving more. I swear I'm very sad. He

told me he's going to kill me, I can't take it anymore,

"

Ursula Bahillo

, the 18-year-old girl who was stabbed to death on Monday night 13 kilometers from the Buenos Aires town of Rojas, in the province of Buenos Aires, where he lived with his parents.

This voicemail, along with several others, were sent by Úrsula to a friend of hers on November 16.

75 days have passed since then

.

The one referred to in the audios is

Matías Ezequiel Martínez

, a 25-year-old police officer of the Province of Buenos Aires, and the victim's ex-boyfriend.

Martínez

was detained

near the scene of the femicide.

"He

almost broke my hand

, I can't move my wrist. It hurt me very badly, I want to leave here,

I'm very afraid,

" Ursula confessed in another message.

Apparently, she was telling her friend about an episode where Martinez

beat her savagely

.

"He tore all my hair out,

he beat me back

. He got mad at me because they have to transfer my mother to Buenos Aires," he said.

Terrified and crying, the young woman sent one last audio to her friend that night: "The madman is looking at me, I'm outside the hospital on top of the car because he told me that if I

get out he will beat me to shit in

front of all the people . Here she comes, friend ... ".

Messages

from the day before the murder were also known

.

In one of them, Úrsula said: "Yes, friend, I have a perimeter with him and he broke it, so I went to report him again. He

threatened

me, he told me he wanted to talk to me, to get me off the bike."

And in the second audio he made reference to the last of the many complaints of gender violence that he went to make to the police: "Oh, friend, did you really see it?

I need witnesses ...

I went directly to the police station to report it. Friend , I swear that my soul returned to my body, did you see it? ".

Justice had imposed

a restraining order

on Martínez

on February 5.

It is "the perimeter" that Úrsula talks about in her voice messages.

The friend she is communicating with had seen the attacker harassing Úrsula from a car and

wrote to see if she was okay

.

Matías Ezequiel Martínez, Úrsula Bahillo's ex-boyfriend.

The femicide was discovered after a call to 911 in which an uncle of Martínez said that he believed that his nephew had killed a young woman, because he had confessed in a call that

"he had sent a shit

.

"

Upon arriving at the scene, the police found Úrsula's lifeless body and the injured attacker inside his car, a Peugeot 307.

He tried to escape on foot through the grasslands

, but was quickly arrested.

This Tuesday, in the Plaza San Martín in the town, thousands of women of all ages gathered to demand justice.
