A dad accused of choking his five-year-old son to death before sending a picture of his corpse to his ex-wife has been seized by police.

It is understood that Gabriel Enrique Gonzalez Cubillos, 50, allegedly carried out the killing because his ex had started a new relationship.

Gonzales Cubillos was later arrested at a traffic checkpoint in the municipality of Nilo, in the Department of Cundinamarca, also in central Colombia, after he tried to bribe the police to let him through, according to local media.

He allegedly kidnapped his son on Sunday, 2nd October, before murdering him in the hotel in the early hours of 3rd October.

He then reportedly sent his ex – Consuelo Rodriguez – a photograph of the boy’s body and a message allegedly admitting he had killed him.
