They're sending to jail the man implicated in the murder of businessman Gustavo Aponte and his escort

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. Investigations revealed that the perpetrators, part of a group called 'Gladiadores' coordinated via WhatsApp, mistakenly targeted Aponte due to physical similarities and timing. Llanos Paternina was involved in surveillance and logistics prior to the killing and faces charges of aggravated homicide and illegal weapon possession. Authorities plan further arrests related to the attack’s logistics.
