They were six days of agony. This morning, the Minister for Women confirmed the death of Katherine Gomez (19) , a young woman who was attacked by her ex-partner Sergio Tarache Parra, who sprayed gasoline on her and set her on fire. She had 60% of her body burned.

The macho attack was registered in a street near Dos de Mayo square, in the center of Lima. According to witnesses, the victim had made the decision to end the sentimental relationship she had with the Venezuelan. However, he would have refused. Currently, the femicide is a fugitive from justice . The authorities took six days to issue a prison order.

The severity of the woman's burns prevented her from continuing to live despite the medical treatment she was receiving. “She fought for her life, but the amount of her damaged body has made it impossible for doctors to save her life and we have been told that she has passed away. We extend our condolences to the entire family," said the head of the office to RPP Noticias.

Regarding the freedom of the alleged aggressor, Tolentino assured that the Ministry for Women works together with the Ministry of the Interior to find the aggressor. "A little consolation will bring the family to know that he is punished and pays for the crime he has committed," she said.
