FWIW, "MATA" in Spanish means "kill."
'mata' means a plant (also 'planta') or a shrub (also 'arbusto'). '(to) kill (or murder)' is 'matar'. as in, No matars....Though shall not kill (or murder...depends on how one translates the original scripts). Matar el tiempo....To kill time. Me ha matado con su pelmaceria....He's so dull he bores me to death.
