A Colombian court ordered the detention of Leonel Enrique Llanos Paternina, a suspect in the double murder of businessman Gustavo Aponte and his bodyguard Luis Gabriel Gutiérrez, who were killed on February 11. The case involves a botched attack originally intended for a different target, a jeweler dealing in precious stones.

Authorities plan further arrests related to the attack’s logistics.
