Ecuadorian Mother Identified in Lima Mattress Killing as Driver Faces Pretrial Detention

Border alerts target three named fugitives in a probe treating the death as a possible feminicide.

Overview

  • Police identified the victim as Jennifer Lisbeth, an Ecuadorian mother of four, after her partner recognized a crown tattoo with the name “Ariel.”
  • Prosecutors secured nine months of pretrial detention for mototaxi driver Darwin Cruz Vásquez, who transported the mattress where the body was found.
  • Cruz told investigators he was hired for S/30 by three foreigners — identified as Alex, Dark and Adriana — and claims he did not know a body was inside.
  • Peru’s police activated alerts at the Tumbes and Tacna borders as the three named suspects remain on the run.
  • Lisbeth reportedly arrived in Peru on January 11 for a job opportunity on a one-way trip from Guayas to Lima, and the case is under Depincri investigation as a possible feminicide.
