Detained Pair Expand Testimony in Varela Triple Femicide, Add 'El Bola' and Claim 300–400 Kilos Stolen

Investigators are focusing on reconciling contradictory testimonies with phone and video records.

Overview

  • Víctor Sotacuro told the fiscal he was used, denied entering the murder house, blamed “El Loco David” for the killings and drew a movement sketch for the case file.
  • Florencia Ibáñez denied participating, framed her involvement around her relationship with the fugitive Alex Roger Ydone Castillo, and faces scrutiny from videos that place her with him.
  • Both detainees introduced a new figure, “El Bola,” whom they linked to narco “revoleos,” and provided identifications and a photo reference for investigators.
  • Their accounts elevate the alleged motive from earlier reports of several dozen kilos to claims of 300–400 kilos of stolen cocaine, highlighting sharp discrepancies with prior testimony.
  • Prosecutors maintain aggravated homicide charges as key suspects including Ydone Castillo and David Gustavo Morales Huamani remain at large and searches continue.
