Colombia arrests two more suspects in Paraguayan prosecutor’s murder

Two more people suspected of participating in the May murder of a Paraguayan prosecutor have been arrested, the Colombian prosecutor’s office said on Sunday.
Prosecutor Marcelo Pecci, 45, known for fighting organized crime, was shot dead on the island of Baru near the Caribbean city of Cartagena while honeymooning with his wife.
Four people have already been jailed in Colombia for their involvement in his killing, and a man in Venezeula was arrested in December.
In the latest arrests, brothers Andres Perez and Ramon Perez are accused of arranging the logistics behind the murder, including hiring hitmen, who they planned to pay large sums of money, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
Attorneys for the Perez brothers could not be reached for comment.
