International Manhunt Ends: "Cuchillo" Captured in Colombia, Lawyer Detained in Peru

Alias "Cuchillo," wanted for the brutal Pataz massacre in Peru, has been captured in a joint operation between Peruvian and Colombian authorities. The arrest took place in Medellín, Colombia, following an Interpol operation based on an arrest warrant issued by a court in La Libertad, Peru. The video footage shows the dramatic moment of the arrest. Adding to the complexity of the case, the suspect's lawyer was also arrested in Trujillo, Peru. Authorities found over 100,000 soles in her apartment, leading to suspicions of her involvement in helping "Cuchillo" flee the country. A spokesperson for the Peruvian judiciary stated, "The arrest is a testament to the successful collaboration between our judicial system and international law enforcement agencies." The successful capture of "Cuchillo" brings a measure of closure to the families of the thirteen security guards murdered in the mine. The investigation into the lawyer's involvement continues.
