Juan Camilo Lloreda, the police patrolman implicated in the murder of law student Javier Ordóñez last week in Engativá, western Bogotá, it has already been handed over to the authorities.

Lloreda remained a fugitive, after a judge issued an arrest warrant Thursday morning against him and against Harby Damián Rodríguez Díaz. The latter was captured in the afternoon.

Rodríguez and Lloreda are accused of having committed the attack with a taser pistol and then with forceful blows that caused the death of Javier Ordóñez on Wednesday of last week, in events that were recorded on video and that triggered two days of protests and police violence and vandalism.

After the arrest warrant was known, released so that they could be charged before a judge of the Republic, the authorities searched their homes for the two ex-uniformed men – now retired from the Police – but did not find them. For this reason, it was feared that they had escaped.

Now it takes 36 hours for the capture of the two men to be legalized, before a guarantee control judge, so this Friday the Prosecutor’s Office will file the request for a legalization hearing in the Paloquemao judicial complex.
