Alas, the grim scene unfolded in broad daylight in the Cosmopolis neighborhood, where Teodora, a 23-year-old expecting her first child, met the tragic end. Witnesses report that her heartbreaking fate unfolded in front of her 3-year-old daughter and her cousin.
The horrific incident took place around 7 p.m. on Saturday, confirm local media reports. The pregnant reality TV star was 26 weeks into her pregnancy when she was brutally taken from us. Her volatile ex-boyfriend, identified as Robert Lupu, stands at the center of this heinous crime, according to Antena 3 CNN. Despite heroic efforts by the medical staff, they could not save Teodora's life.
It's worth noting that femicides, or crimes against women, have seen an alarming surge in Romania over the past years. Between 2015 and 2023, adverse incidents of women falling victim to their partners, former partners, or family members have been reported, as previously mentioned by the country's former Minister of Family Gabriela Firea.
This disturbing trend is a stark reminder of the prevalence of gender-based violence globally, frequently linked to domestic abuse and harmful societal norms.
