COSix months after the femicide of 21-year-old Laura Valentina Lozano, authorities arrested José David López Celis, who is accused of killing her in an apartment in Bogotá’s Cedritos neighborhood on February 21. The arrest was carried out by investigators from the Technical Investigation Corps (CTI) under a court order from a judge who imposed pretrial detention. The prosecution strengthened the case with new evidence, including findings that the victim was placed in a state of vulnerability before being killed. According to the investigation, Lozano went to her ex-partner’s apartment to retrieve belongings and her pet but was allegedly threatened with self-harm to prevent her from leaving, leading her back into the apartment where she was beaten and suffocated. The case caused national outrage after Lozano’s alleged perpetrator was released earlier due to judicial decisions, though this was recently overturned. The victim, a politics student and artistic skater, had recently ended her relationship with Lozano.
