Overview

  • Keillys Arymar Aguilera Meneses confessed to killing her husband, Alexander Valverde Laines, during a September 21 dispute, according to the Ministerio Público.
  • Investigators say the body was concealed in the couple’s home for days before being moved to a parked vehicle, where police found it on October 2 bound, wrapped in sheets, and decomposed.
  • Neighbors alerted authorities after noticing a nauseating odor from the car on the block of jirón Huaraz where it was parked.
  • At the request of the Primera Fiscalía Penal Corporativa de Lima Centro (Quinto Despacho), the court ordered preliminary detention and the Fiscalía initiated immediate statements, forensic tests, and evidence collection.
