Couple arrested for triple homicide in El Limón neighbourhood of Caracas
According to eldiario.com, officers of the Scientific, Penal and Criminal Investigation Corps (CICPC) arrested a man and a woman accused of taking part in the murder of three people in the El Limón neighbourhood, Sucre parish, Libertador municipality of Caracas.
The director of the CICPC, Douglas Rico, identified the detainees on 12 September as Jonaiker Freitez, aged 25, and Oskaterin Briceño, aged 20, nicknamed "La Chiki".
The victims and the attack
The victims—Francisco Daniel Rondón Guillen, aged 34; Deiwin Jesús Rosas Marcano, aged 28; and Ronihes Gustavo Guiseppi Triana, aged 31—were inside an establishment in El Limón on 8 September socialising. As they left the premises, two armed men on motorcycles intercepted them and opened fire without warning. A fourth man was injured in the attack, according to Rico's account.
The motive: premeditated revenge
The investigation revealed that Briceño knew in advance that a person known as "El Catire" would come to the bar that day, whom she allegedly holds responsible for her father's murder in 2016. El Catire arrived accompanied by Francisco Rondón Guillen, one of the victims.
Briceño and a female friend began consuming alcoholic beverages with the group and, according to Rico, notified Freitez and another individual identified as Andryh that El Catire and his companions were leaving the establishment. Both men fired at them as they exited. El Catire managed to escape; authorities continue searching for him.
Second case: mechanic kills customer in El Hatillo
On the same 12 September, Rico reported the clarification of another homicide, which occurred on 9 September at the Los Naranjos residence in El Hatillo municipality, Miranda state. The victim, Samuel Enrique Jaimes Machado, aged 65, received a visit at his apartment from his trusted mechanic, Daniel Bazán, aged 24, accompanied by his partner, Judith Ufre, aged 19.
During the visit an argument broke out: Jaimes Machado was complaining about defective repairs made to his vehicle and was threatening to report Bazán. In the course of the fight, the mechanic took a knife and stabbed the sixty-year-old man repeatedly. As they fled the building, the couple struggled with a security guard, who was injured in the hand. Bazán and Ufre were arrested that same day by the Municipal Police of El Hatillo. Both claimed that the victim owed them money for the sale of a vehicle.
Other recent arrests reported by the CICPC
Through his Instagram account, Rico has reported several arrests linked to homicides in different areas of the country. On 11 September he posted the arrest of three individuals in Aragua for attempted homicide, after beating a victim in the head with a blunt object during a brawl. On 8 September he reported the arrest of three other individuals involved in the death of Noel Urbina, aged 46, who received multiple blows whilst consuming alcoholic beverages with his assailants.
