However, the Prosecutor’s report reveals the role of a person close to Jhonier who would have motivated those feelings of hatred. It is about his ex-wife Luz Elena Betancurt.
As revealed by Semana Magazine, this woman had discussions with her mother-in-law (Marleny Hernández) and her brother-in-law (Mauricio Leal), stating that they did not give her the place she Jhonier deserved at the hairdresser.
What was known is that Mauricio settled with his mother in the year 2000 and since then they have grown and built the brand of fortune that ‘Maito’ had, as he is remembered by many.
while his brother Jhonier was with his wife, her son and their son, in Cali looking for opportunities to get ahead.
Not having many opportunities, they decided to travel to Bogotá, with a motorcycle that Jhonier owned only.
Upon arriving in the capital, Mauricio offered his brother a job, but “as one more hairdresser,” indicates the report revealed by the magazine.
The treatment of Jhonier by his mother and brother would have bothered Elena Light when considering, that it was not fair because he was not a hairdresser anymore. It is even said that she demanded that Jhonier be appointed as the administrator of the famous hairdresser.
However, that did not happen and, on the contrary, the friction increased when they began to notice that both Jhonier and Luz Elena used much more products than the other stylists.
At that time, the couple made the decision to apply for a loan and become independent in the neighborhood The Pole, from Bogota.
Despite the radical decision, the couple could not understand each other and at that moment they decided to separate, so Jhonier again asked for the help of his relatives and went to live with them in the limestone, where months later he committed the reprehensible crime.
It should be remembered that the woman declared before the Prosecutor’s Office, in the middle of the investigation, that her ex-brother-in-law Mauricio Leal was “a soul of God”, however, versions emerged indicating that she would be one of the triggers of Jhonier Leal with his family.
