Likewise, it was known that weeks ago the young woman had broken up with her partner, so the subject is not ruled out as a suspect either.

In fact, according to the report of witnesses to the authorities, it was learned that the victim argued a lot with this man, who lives in the sector. Neighbors indicated that the day before the discovery of the body they heard screams of fighting, something that was recurrent in the couple.

The figures are overwhelming, they show the reality of the city as the Colombian capital of homicide and reflect the great fear felt by the people of Cali, since the situation is getting worse every day. We need the mayor to put on his pants, take responsibility for him as the first public order authority and do the most basic thing: protect us, ”said Orozco.
