Police arrest suspect in Cordoba student killings

by Adriaan Alsema February 14, 2011

Colombia news - arrest

Police in the northern Colombian department of Cordoba arrested a man suspected of involvement in the murder of two Bogota students early January.

The suspect, a motortaxi driver from the town where the students were murdered, allegedly shadowed the students and informed the local leader of neo-paramilitary drug gang “Los Urabeños.”

That gang is suspected of having killed the students because of mistaking them for intelligence officials.

The murder caused outrage in Bogota where the students attended the prestigious Los Andes university and forced national authorities to launch an offensive against neo-paramilitary groups that have caused soaring murder rates in the department over the past years.
