15 year old Argentinian Julia Alvarez was left disfigured after two jealous girls slashed her face with knives because she was 'too pretty'. The two girls, who are sisters, have since been arrested. Julia later told police the girls said they wanted to make her look like horror movie character, Chucky.
Julia said she was walking home in the town of Juan Domingo Peron, in the northern Argentinian province of Formosa, when the girls aged 18 and 16 attacked her without any provocation.
"Everyone says you are pretty. You won't look pretty when we have finished with you. People will call you Chucky." - Julia claims this is what the girls told her before slashing her face...
Julia needed dozens of stitches on her face and back to put the flaps of skin back together.
The two girls were later arrested after the victim's sister posted the horrific images in Facebook. The pics went viral in the country and many activists called for the arrest of the attackers.
In her Facebook post, the victim's sister wrote
"They were jealous of my sister for a long time and always abusing her and insulting her, but we never expected them to go this far. I have tried to stay strong for my beautiful sister but every time I see her I want to burst into tears. They have ruined her life.
Police arrested the two girls but later released the 16 year old because of her age. The 18 year old is still in custody.
