About this episode

Marilyn's last post: 30 stabs and a secret: The femicide of Marilyn Martínez in San Borja, Lima. On January 16, 2023, a scream pierced an apartment in San Borja. Marilyn, an influencer with 600K followers who smiled on TikTok, was packing to escape when her husband arrived. An impossible detail: her last post from the day before carried a message of female autonomy. In this episode, we explore the contradictions between the happy couple image on social media and the documented cycle of violence since 2013, the partially empty closet that evidenced her intention to leave, and the jealousy declared by Alexander Pinedo Barrón as the motive for 30 stabs to the head and arms. How was a woman on the radar of millions murdered without anyone seeing the outcome coming? Victim: Marilyn Martínez Date: January 16, 2023 Location: San Borja, Lima, Peru Status: Aggravated femicide; preventive detention since January 23, 2023 - Alexander admitted that comments from men on social media were the declared trigger for his attack. - The couple's son witnessed the crime from another room and locked himself in out of fear of his father. - Marilyn made her first report at 18 years old for serious assault, which she withdrew after manipulation by Alexander. - Alexander requested a reconstruction of the event at the scene and carried it out with complete coldness, asking to be recorded.
