Overview
- Congress president Fernando Rospigliosi referred to Eduardo Ruiz Sáenz as “terruco,” conflating the stage name Trvko with the slur and repeating his remarks after journalists corrected him.
- The family says it will send a notarial letter seeking immediate rectification and will pursue a defamation complaint if no correction is issued.
- Police commander Óscar Arriola identified subofficer Luis Magallanes as the shooter who fired the fatal projectile, and officer Omar Raúl Saavedra Bautista remains detained in the case.
- A tribute mural in Cusco was vandalized with white paint, erasing the artist’s face and the message that the police killed him.
- Relatives reject any political meaning to the stage name, detail fears for their safety, and allege attempted removal of evidence on the night of the killing.
