48 hours after the crime of
Uma Aguilera
(9), secrecy practically rules in Pío Baroja at 600 Villa Centenerio, Lomas de Zamora, where Patricia Bullrich's custodian
Eduardo Andrés Aguilera
(42) and his wife, also a federal police officer, live. María Eugenia Rodríguez Álvarez (41).
Due to the police cordon and the patrol cars that fenced off the area, it is impossible to approach the door of the family home.
Custody has been in place since Monday afternoon and has a strict order to prevent the family from being disturbed.
The neighbors, little by little, are encouraged to come out to the door.
They hardly speak and anger and irritation against crime and, also, against the authorities who must take care of the area predominate.
In the case, until Tuesday night there was only one detainee and three fugitives, two of whom were identified and only his nickname is known about the third: "Barrita."
In the midst of the family silence,
Clarín
was able to speak with Mayi, Uma's aunt and Aguilera's sister.
"My brother
is devastated, he doesn't know how to move on,
he clings to his two daughters (Iara, 12, and Emma, 1). They took away his companion, the one who was always with him."
It is the first time that a family member expresses himself with the media.
"I decided to speak because I want to thank my brother Eduardo, my sister-in-law Eugenia and the entire family for the support and respect with which (the press) has been handled from the beginning. Now that we have said goodbye to Umita,
we only ask Justice
and that my skinny girl, my aunt's baby, can rest in peace."

"My baby needs peace because
she fought until the end like a warrior
. She wanted to stay at all costs... A true warrior," she says.
As Clarín
learned
, during the assault, Uma covered her face and that's how a bullet wounded one of her hands.
What was Uma like?
A
very happy girl, who enjoyed, who played
, who did sports and excelled, who studied and was very talented in everything she did, because she did everything with passion.
She was very dedicated, also affectionate and very cuddly, always with a smile on her face," says Mayi.
The smile on her face was an undeniable hallmark of Uma Aguilera, here practicing tae-kwondo.
Distraught and wishing that "all this is an unbearable nightmare," Mayi tells Clarín
that
"Uma lately loved making
TikTok
videos with her friends. She had a quiet group and was very loved by her classmates. She was a great daughter and he loved playing with Emma, his one-year-old sister, whom he took care of and pampered.
Mayi breaks down, she asks please not to talk anymore.
Another direct relative of the Aguilera family agrees to speak with this media on the condition of not revealing his name.
"The first thing we want is Justice,
that girl should be playing, not buried
. As her aunt says, she was a warrior in life, because she did everything with striking dedication and dedication."
"She excelled in sports, she had
medals in handball and was a champion in martial arts
, she studied English, did a craft workshop and was very hooked on making TikTok videos. With Iara, her older sister, they had a great time, they recorded themselves performing songs from fashion. Uma sang and Iara was more dedicated to music, because she plays different instruments. She was a girl who enjoyed."

Very attached to Uma, this woman says that "I loved talking to Uma because she was a delightful chatterbox, who talked up a storm, described in detail and with great grace and expressiveness, but at the same time she had a way, a way of being so as an educated young lady, and, sometimes, even an adult, being barely 9 years old. If you ask me what Uma was like, I'll tell you that
she was a girl with an immense desire to live
and she worked hard until the last second of her life.
Also very familiar.
"
Uma had a very special bond with her father
, who filmed her making the videos and then uploaded them to the networks. She tried to wait awake for her father and when he was home they made plans all the time. She was very good friends with her father, because he always "He was more permissive and flexible, his mother (Eugenia) was more about setting limits."

This contact says that this Wednesday he spoke with Eduardo.
"Actually I am in permanent contact with Edu and Euge, but he told me that
he is not there, that he is destroyed
and he confessed to me that he has no more, that he does not know what to do with his life, how to move forward."
At Tuesday's wake, "at one point Eduardo isolated himself and went to the patio and broke down, he couldn't handle himself anymore, he fell, crying in pain... I was able to grab him, hug him tightly even though there were many hands holding him. "They tried to keep him upright... He knows his job well, he has experienced many things but nothing so close...
When the thing is so deep in the heart of the family it breaks you into a thousand pieces."
Uma crime: one detainee and three fugitives
Uma was murdered on Monday morning by four robbers who attacked her parents when they were leaving their house to take the girl to the doctor.
It all happened minutes before 9 at Pío Baroja 600, in Villa Centenario.
A dark gray Toyota Corolla crossed paths with the silver gray Ford Ka that Aguilera was taking out of the garage.
Two thieves got out and threatened the couple.
Both of Uma's parents are Federal Police officers and to protect the girl they decided not to react against the criminals, but quite the opposite: they tried to escape.
But the assailants treacherously fired at the car and wounded the little girl with two bullets.
One shot hit her hand and another hit the back of her head.

A security camera recorded the passage of the suspects in Umma's murder.
Uma was rushed to Gandolfo Hospital and then to Churruca.
Despite the efforts of the doctors, she died due to the severity of the wound.
The thieves who killed the little girl escaped in the stolen car, which they abandoned a few blocks later.
Then they walked away.
They were all filmed by security cameras.
Despite this, there is only one detainee and three remain at large.
"My baby needs peace because she fought until the end like a warrior. She wanted to stay at all costs... A warrior through and through.
