The First Criminal Court of the Circuit of Armenia (Quindío) accepted the evidence presented by the Office of the Attorney General during the oral trial and sentenced Davinson Alejando Loaiza Aranzazu to 42 years and 6 months in prison for the crimes of aggravated femicide and illegal possession of firearms.
The investigation allowed to establish that, on January 11, 2018, the defendant went to his former partner´s house located in neighborhood La Ciudadela in Quimbaya (Quindío) and he fired at his sentimental partner in the presence of his 6-month-old daughter and her sisters.
The Office of the Attorney General found out that, a few hours before the attack, the victim had filed a complaint on alimony and stayed at her mother’s house for two weeks because she wanted to separate from Loaiza Aranzazu who was permanently trying to convince her to continue with the relationship.
The defendant has been detained since August 2018 when he was arrested and was brought before a judge to hold a hearing*.
