Diego Alexander Ruíz Restrepo, is a 30-year-old Colombian who was captured in Chile on the night of Monday, November 9, after being accused of murdering eight people in eight days in the Meiggs neighborhood, the center of the Chilean capital.
The Colombian is accused of being the murderer of eight people, several of them street dwellers, whom he accosted and attacked with a knife while he slept.
For Belisario Valbuena, a forensic psychologist specializing in profiling and analysis of criminal behavior, Ruíz Restrepo’s behavior is not the one common in a serial killer.

“What strikes me the most is how impulsive he is when committing the homicides, that is, that he has about eight homicides in a week is saying that he is someone quite impulsive who has a compulsion with a very specific victimological profile, since they are all street dwellers and there is no gender discrimination, “says Dr. Valbuena.
According to the local newspaper La Opinion de Chile, the first homicide was registered at 6:15 a.m. on November 1, when he repeatedly stabbed Carlos Rivas, a Colombian citizen from Cauca and in a street situation, who received several stabs while he slept, although other versions assure that it was the product of a fight.

Then, around 25 minutes later, a police record ensures that Ruiz would have done the same with an adult over 64, also while the victim was sleeping. In addition, according to the Chilean Police, During the early morning of November 8, Ruíz murdered five people in a period of 3 hours.
He chose street dwellers because they are people who are not missed by a family … many of them cannot even be identified
“I would dare to say that he chose street dwellers because they are people who are not missed by a family as such, many of them cannot even be identified,” says Dr. Valbuena.
For seven years, Diego Alexander Ruiz Restrepo left for Chile, where he worked in different trades, but most of the time in tasks related to construction.
The Colombian, then 22 years old, studied at the Carlos Holmes Trujillo educational institution, in commune 15, in the Aguablanca District, eastern Cali.

Those who knew him in Chile say that Ruíz had a level of conflict and would have been involved in arguments, to the point that it was frequent that he threatened his neighbors with a knife. That behavior would be something different from what he was known when he was living in Cali.
Diego Alexander Ruíz Restrepo, a 30-year-old from Cali, would be the alleged serial killer of the Diego Meiggs neighborhood in Santiago de Chila.

Relatives of Ruíz Restrepo’s family in Cali, assured this medium that their family is very loved in their neighborhood and they are known for their Christian faith and their constant help to the community. In fact, they pointed out that Ruíz Restrepo would also be a Christian, at least before leaving the country.
Based on this information and his judicial record in Chile, where he was involved in thefts, Dr. Valbuena points out that his conduct as a serial murderer is atypical and surprising.

“I am surprised that he has gone from criminal activities such as theft to serial homicide and here I have another hypothesis: he seems to obey and above all the impulsiveness of the crimes catches my attention It is as if he had done what in psychiatry we call an ‘acting out’, that is, a disconnection; and start killing in a compulsive way“explains the coroner.
This type of mental disorder is not very common, generally serial killers commit homicides between cooling stages, with a certain period of time
“This type of mental disorder is not very common, serial killers usually commit homicides between cooling stages, with a certain period, one a week, one a month or one every few months,” added the doctor.
In social networks it has been seen that Chilean citizens, shocked by Ruíz’s criminal record, have stated that it would be ‘a shame’ for the accused and his lawyer to prepare a defense strategy based on a psychological problem of Ruíz, which could make it not chargeable.

Regarding this, the doctor is very premature to consider him unimpeachable, but he does consider that the Chilean authorities should carry out a psychiatric examination to identify if Ruíz acted under a mental disorder.
