A preventive detention order was issued against María Paulina Ceballos by a prosecutor assigned to the Specialized Directorate on Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law for the murder of Fernando César Cepeda Vargas.
The decision made by the prosecuting authority indicates that she allegedly committed aggravated murder.
The legal situation of Fernando Cepeda´s widow was solved once the prosecutor in charge of the case ordered her to be subjected to an electronic surveillance mechanism and prohibited her to change her place of residence without informing the prosecutor in charge of the case.
