Murder of Kidnapped Child's Relative Fuels Investigation in Cali

Cali, Colombia is grappling with the aftermath of a murder investigation that has unexpectedly intertwined with a recent child kidnapping case. Antonio Cuadros, a relative of the child who was released after being kidnapped in Jamundí, Valle del Cauca, was found murdered in Cali. Authorities are now investigating whether the two incidents are linked. According to General Carlos Oviedo, Commander of the Cali Metropolitan Police, "The deceased person has a history of illegal weapons possession and culpable injury." The report also includes an interview with Jairo García, Secretary of Security and Justice of Cali, who confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and that a reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of those responsible. The emotional contrast is palpable, moving from the joy of the child's release to the tragic news of Cuadros' murder. The investigation is being handled by the CTI (Cuerpo Técnico de Investigación), and the Secretary assures the public that all resources are being used to solve this case and others like it. The family of the kidnapped child is receiving psychosocial support.
