Numerologist 'Pitty' mourns femicide victim, urges women to seek help

Verónica Asad, widely known as "Pitty la numeróloga," has publicly mourned Romina María de los Ángeles Calvo, who was murdered in Villa Devoto. Calvo was stabbed to death by her partner, Walter Verón. Asad shared her grief and memories of Calvo, whom she knew through her business ventures.

“

Romina, a woman who worked with me, was a victim of femicide. Her life was taken by the one who claimed to love her.

Calvo operated a franchise of Asad's business, selling candles and essences, and had plans to open another location. Asad described Calvo as a respectful and loving individual, emphasizing that her message transcends her professional work and comes from a place of shared womanhood.

"Romina, a woman who worked with me, was a victim of femicide. Her life was taken by the one who claimed to love her," Asad stated, reflecting on the devastating impact of such violence. She questioned what more could have been done and urged those witnessing or suspecting abuse to intervene, rather than look away.

“

And those of us who are around, let's not look the other way. Let's not avert our gaze from the truly tragic reality of this end: that a woman was murdered in front of her daughter.

Asad implored others to listen and support women experiencing difficult situations, highlighting that fear and shame often prevent victims from speaking out. She stressed the importance of attentiveness and encouraged anyone reading her words and feeling represented to seek help, framing it as the beginning of freedom. "Your voice could not ask for help. But today we have a huge responsibility: that this murderer pays. For you, Romi. And for all," she declared.

“

Many women are afraid or ashamed to talk about what they are going through. Many are manipulated into believing that they themselves are to blame. That is why it is so important to listen, accompany, and be attentive.

The article also notes that the femicide's partner, Walter Verón, mentioned "Pitty la numeróloga" in a letter he wrote before the crime, suggesting Asad had influenced Calvo's personality. Investigators also discovered a religious altar in the couple's home, where Calvo had apparently sought guidance from Asad for her businesses.

Your voice could not ask for help. But today we have a huge responsibility: that this murderer pays. For you, Romi. And for all.
