At the request of the Attorney General’s Office, a judge ordered a prison sentence for César Stiven Calderón Romero, for being allegedly responsible for the murder of an elderly man, which took place on August 10 in Pitalito (Huila).
A prosecutor appointed to the Immediate Reaction Unit (Unidad de Reacción Inmediata URI) of the branch office in Huila (Seccional Huila) charged him with homicide. The defendant did not plead guilty to the charges.
The facts took place after a fight that took place between Calderón Romero and a 78-year-old man, who was apparently attacked with a sharp weapon in one of his arms and his back. He died due to the severity of his injuries.
The alleged attacker was arrested in fragante by the National Police on a public street in Pitalito, near the so-called Avenida Circunvalar. Officers found the weapon that he allegedly used to commit the attack.
