Triple Homicide in Pataz: New Testimony Reveals Wider Conspiracy
A new testimony before the Peruvian Prosecutor's Office has shed light on a triple homicide in the region of Pataz. Three men were found murdered and dumped in the Marañón River. Survivors implicated alias "Cuchillo" and a prominent mining executive, who denies any involvement. The investigation has uncovered WhatsApp messages detailing further killings in the area, linking both "Cuchillo" and the unnamed mining executive. Police have arrested a suspect. "The documents clearly show a pattern of violence," stated a source close to the investigation, requesting anonymity. Luis Cueva Rojas, head of the Vijus peasant community in Pataz, is also named in connection with the massacre. The full investigation is ongoing, but the discovery of these additional murders highlights the ongoing violence in the region.
