Overview
- Security video shows two men arriving by mototaxi in San Martín de Porres, covering the vehicle’s plate and leaving a mattress that concealed the victim’s body.
- The PNP detained mototaxi driver Darwin Cruz Vásquez in Los Olivos on Jan. 15 after tracing the vehicle used to transport the mattress.
- Cruz told investigators he was hired to haul what he was told was trash for S/30, received S/10, and denied knowing a body was inside.
- He identified three people as responsible — Alex, Dark and Adriana — and said their last message to him was, “We are going to Chile.”
- Depincri chief Henry Vilchez said the three had direct participation; the victim remains unidentified and suffered neck punctures and chest stab wounds as police pursue further arrests.
