It was on February 22 that a woman who lives in the south of Bogotá witnessed the murder of her partner at the hands of a man who belonged to one of the most wanted gangs. To avenge the memory of his loved one, the woman, who preferred not to reveal his identity, worked with the authorities to capture the murderer.

The plan? Fall in love through social networks until you had enough confidence and revealed that he murdered his partner. "I saw the days go by and nothing happened," the woman told Noticias Caracol. "I wanted to know what had happened and why my partner was killed [that's why I decided to collaborate]."

For four months, the murderer and the woman maintained communication by chat and by telephone. “I looked it up on Facebook and we started talking. I sent him very personal photos of me and I started to gain his trust,”said the woman, who in the postcards only showed her body and put on the face of another woman. "I made him believe he was from another gang [of criminals] and that he had the same profile of him."

After his attraction to her was so great, the woman managed to confess that he had been the murderer. "The goal was for her to tell me what had happened," she said. “He was going to kill another person and when he saw that we arrived at the house to store the car, he thought that we had seen him and that is why he shot at the house so that there were no witnesses to that other homicide that he was going to commit. I was afraid, but I didn't want my boyfriend's death to go unpunished.”

After the confession, the murderer along with 13 other men were arrested and will have to face justice for crimes such as robbery and murder.
