Overview

• Víctor Sotacuro and Florencia Ibáñez returned to testify on October 13 before prosecutor Adrián Arribas, providing new statements that diverge on key facts.
• Sotacuro says he was used and never entered the crime house, asked investigators to review surveillance footage, drew a movement sketch, and identified suspects by photograph including “El Loco David,” “Pequeño J,” and “El Bola.”
• He attributes the killings to David Gustavo Huamani Morales as retaliation for a theft of 300 to 400 kilos of cocaine, recounting vehicle swaps with a Chevrolet Tracker and later sightings of men in bloodied or dirty clothing.
• Ibáñez maintains she is innocent, says she was unaware of any plan, and points to her partner Alex Roger Ydone Castillo; coverage notes videos place her with Ydone in several moments under review.
• Multiple suspects remain fugitives, investigators continue photo identifications, seek camera footage and forensic corroboration, and the two accounts present a central obstacle for the case.
