It is known that one of the detainees was the partner of the deceased bloodthirsty comrade ‘Alipio’.

‘Ciperian’ is believed to be responsible for two criminal acts in 2020, where three members of the Armed Forces lost their lives and five were injured, in Canayre (Ayacucho). He is also believed to have participated in the murder of three adults and two children in 2021.

Also found in his possession were objects such as two AKM-type rifles, ammunition, hand grenades, homemade weapons, among others, which were seized during the military operation called ‘Leonidas’.
