Teacher is murdered by hitmen INSIDE JULIO C. TELLO SCHOOL, IN FRONT OF THE STUDENTS, in ATE.
The Ate school where a teacher was murdered is now covered in soldiers at the gate. But why bother? Because there are no classes due to the mourning.
Regarding the homicide that occurred in Ate, the Ministry of the Interior reports the following: From the Interior sector we regret and condemn the death of Mr. Julio César Pacheco Pimentel, who was murdered at the door of the I. E. Julio C. Tello, in Ate, by a subject who arrived on board a motorcycle with a companion. Interior Minister Juan José Santiváñez immediately ordered the Homicide Investigation Division of the Dirincri to arrive in the area to carry out exhaustive investigations. Likewise, officers from the East Police Division 2 have deployed the Plan Cerco to locate these murderers and capture them so that they pay for the crime against this teacher. According to initial statements from a relative of the victim, she was involved in land disputes, for which she had received direct threats against her safety, a fact that she did not report to the police authorities. The Mininter, through the PNP, continues to intensify operations within the framework of the state of emergency and will continue to strengthen preventive patrols in favor of the citizenship. The investigation is ongoing.
You can't be such a son of a bitch as to make a statement BLAMING THE VICTIM for not reporting the crime, when we know that the 111 line is a joke and reporting the crime doesn't exist in this country. They want to shamelessly wash their hands of the matter.
