Former North Colombia Governor sentenced to 55 years in prison for triple murder
written by Stephen Gill January 17, 2017





A former governor of the La Guajira province in Northern Colombia was on Monday sentenced to 55 years in prison for his involvement in a triple murder.

Juan Francisco “Kiko” Gomez was sentenced for the murder of Yandra Brito, the former mayor of Barrancas in La Guajira, her husband Henry Ustariz and her bodyguard Wilfrido Fonseca by the specialized 8th judge of Bogota.

Gomez was sentenced for the crimes of aggravated murder, attempted murder, illegal possession of weapons and conspiracy to commit murder.

. . .

Following her denouncement of Kiko Gomez before Colombia’s Technical Investigative Unit (CTI), Yandra Brito herself was murdered in a hail of rifle fire in the Guatapuri neighborhood of Valledupar on August 28, 2012.
