  • Two charred bodies were discovered in Juliaca at the intersection of Avenidas Chilla and Modesto Borda, including one found bound with wire.
  • In Lurigancho–Chosica’s Carapongo area, two bodies were recovered near train rails and the river, one with multiple gunshot wounds and another with signs of beating and a deep neck mark consistent with strangulation.
  • Scene investigators in Carapongo collected several 9 mm shell casings as potential evidence.
