It was just another class at Udelar’s Faculty of Medicine in Montevideo. 🩺
Federico Lamaita, 19, asked to speak with his classmate, also 19. He was wearing black latex gloves and had a kitchen knife hidden under his coat.
He attacked her in front of everyone: deep cuts on her cheekbone, wounds on her neck, and an injury to her arm that reached the tendons and bone.
What happened next chilled the witnesses: he sucked blood from the victim’s wounds and, already handcuffed, continued drinking the blood that had remained on the floor.
His own classmates restrained him until the police arrived. She was out of danger, although she suffered injuries affecting one eye and a possible fracture in her arm.
The Faculty suspended classes, and he was detained, under investigation for gender-based violence. 😨
