A former mayor of Colombia’s central city of Villavicencio was arrested Wednesday for ordering the assassination of his predecessor.
Colombia’s police confirmed the capture of ex-mayor Franklin Chaparro by using three women that often “frequented” the politician in a secret apartment in Bogota, according to newspaper El Espectador.
Chaparro is being charged with hiring the hitmen who killed his predecessor and once political mentor, Omar Robayo, who served as mayor of Villavicencio from 2001-2003.
The killers were members of one of the most violent blocs of the defunct paramilitary group, the Centauros Bloc of the AUC.
