Guadalupe Curual (20) was born on June 29, 2000. She lived relatively far from her family in Villa La Angostura.

She worked in a bakery that belonged to the family of one of her best friends, Lucía Navarro (23), with whom she shared a small house in Neuquén.

His father works in a field in Villa Llanquín, 90 kilometers from Bariloche.

His brother lives in the same city in Rio Negro, while his mother lives in Chile.

In her everyday life, Guadalupe was alone.

That is why he was strongly integrated into the Navarro family, owner of La Fuxia bakery, in the center of town.

Some time ago she had moved in with her friend Lucia.

They imagined a better future with their children.

The young woman was the mother of a one-year-old girl.

They led quiet lives, lives with little news and many dreams.

Guadalupe used to go to the countryside,

one of her great passions

, to meet her father.

The whole family of the young woman has a deep relationship with the countryside and its customs.

The animals, the harness, the summer and the corners, the horses.

Also with their customs, including music.

Some of this made her fall in love about four years ago with

Bautista Quintriqueo (33), a musician from the area, who would be the father of her daughter and her murderer

.

The man, 13 years older than her, entertained one or another country match in the area.

Juan Bautista Quintriqueo, 33, murdered his former partner Guadalupe Curual, 20.

"She knew something could happen. 48 hours ago he sent her messages with threats, he told her what was going to happen to her. That is why she felt threatened," says Valeria Navarro, a friend of the girl.

On the night of his death, Guadalupe was driving through downtown La Angostura.

He was aware that his ex-partner was driving his own vehicle behind him and that his intention was to attack her.

Scared, at the height of the volunteer fire station she decided to park,

.

Thinking that Quintriqueo could kill her and her daughter, she

decided to flee to save her baby's life

.

He ran to avoid a double crime.

To divert attention from the one who became his murderer.

Guadalupe opened the car door and began to run, in the last effort to protect the girl.

Quintriqueo parked a few feet away and ran after her with a knife in his hand.

He finally caught up with her in the square in front of the ACA and landed a fatal stab at her.

"The femicide is killing slowly, the FEMICA not wake up one day and say today I will kill you

. It 's

every day wearing to the other ,

" he told

"I remember her as a calm, cheerful girl,

a good girl who worked in a bakery

. We knew that her partner threatened her, but we did not intervene because she did not approach us. She worried us and we were aware of it. We knew that Justice was not there doing nothing and that there were already complaints, "he adds.

At this time Guadalupe's mother was processing a special permit at the Neuquén Consulate to cross the border, which remains closed due to the pandemic.

The father arrived at the villa a few hours ago and went to the house where his daughter lived with Lucia to take her personal belongings.

"I was born to be free. Not murdered," she had posted on her Facebook on September 7, 2020, with her photo and the "Not One Less" campaign.

The victim's daughter, meanwhile, is in a sheltered home run by the Neuquén Social Development Department.
