Paramilitary drug lord “Cuchillo,” one of Colombia’s most wanted criminals, has been killed, Colombian police said Tuesday.
Cuchillo, whose real name was Pedro Oliverio Guerrero, was killed by police forces in the east of Colombia, close to the border between the Vichada and Guaviare departments, local media reported.
Oliverio used to be a member of the paramilitary organization AUC, but refused to join the paramilitary demobilization between 2003 and 2006 and formed ERPAC (Popular Anti Terrorist Revolutionary Army).
Cuchillo was mostly active near the border with Venezuela and allegedly worked with Daniel “El Loco” Barrera, who is still at large.
