Colombia court sentences assassin to 46 years for killing DEA informant

A court in Colombia’s second largest city Medellin sentenced the convicted killer of a DEA informant to 46 years in prison, the prosecution said Monday.
The informant, Manuel Gaviria, was assassinated with his police escort in 2009 when armed men opened fire at the car while the two were driving from Medellin to the capital Bogota.
Gaviria was one of the key witnesses in the case against Miguel Angel Mejia, a.k.a. “The Twin,” a long-time drug trafficker and short-time member of paramilitary organization AUC who was arrested in central Colombia in 2008.
The convicted killer, John Fabio Lopez, a.k.a. “Angustias,” was found on the highway where the double homicide had taken place hours after the crime.
