Young And Pretty Mum Of Four Found Half-Naked And Beaten To Death With Sticks And Stones In Colombia

This young and pretty mum of four has been found half-naked and beaten to death with sticks and stones in Colombia.

The incident took place in the El Vergel Biohealth Park in the city of Buga, which is located in the Valle del Cauca Department in south-western Colombia, where the young woman was found lifeless on Sunday morning (30th January).

The victim has been named as Kelly Johana Tamayo Borquez, 26, and a relative said she was at risk from an unnamed ex-partner, of whom there are no further details.

The police are investigating the incident, with initial investigations showing the woman was apparently beaten to death with sticks and stones, including in her face.

Alexandra Bohorquez, the victim’s aunt, is quoted in local reports as saying: “She was hit on the head with rocks and sticks, she was dragged, because you can see the marks where she was, surely she was struggling with that person.”

She added: “We ask for justice and that this crime be clarified, that it not go unpunished.”

Colonel Nelson Dabey Parrado, Valle del Cauca Police Commander, said: “The National Police had a specialised investigation group in coordination with the Attorney General’s Office to determine the motives and aggressors and thus be able to clarify this unfortunate event.”

No arrests had been announced at the time of writing.

Local activist group No Es Hora De Callar (It’s No Time To Remain Silent) says only seven percent of femicides in Colombia go fully punished.
