Subject who took a girl in La Molina tried to erase the evidence of the kidnapping
Agents of the Peruvian National Police (PNP) captured this Wednesday Víctor Andrés Cano Merino, the subject who took an eight-year-old girl in La Molina. In a joint effort, the uniformed officers reached the San Juan de Lurigancho (SJL) district to arrest the 42-year-old man who the day before had taken away a family's peace of mind.
In communication with the press, Colonel PNP Franco Moreno Panta, head of the Kidnapping Division (Divise), gave some scope of the intervention; for example, revealed that the individual washed the clothes he wore on the day of the events to eliminate any incriminating evidence.
“This is a felony. His polo shirt, hat and slippers were found. In addition, he confessed that he had captured the minor a month ago posing as a female person. The man tried to escape, but we have not allowed him to, ”the PNP headline stressed to La República.
Likewise, it was learned that the man, nicknamed 'Triangle', took the minor to the cinema in the Puruchuco shopping center, in Ate Vitarte. In this regard, the relatives denounced that said establishment refused to deliver the images from the security cameras.
“She is calm and in good health”
After the subject returned the girl to her home in La Molina, the mother of the family went to the cameras of La República and confirmed that her daughter she is healthy and calm. In the same way, she assured that she will continue with the investigations.
“She is calm. We are a little tired. I thank God, all the police officers, the Serenazgo de La Molina and all the people who have supported me. Thank you so much. We are calmer, thank you for your support," he said this Wednesday morning.
Hours before, the taxi driver who transferred the person involved approached the Criminal Investigation Department (Depincri) to give his statement. In front of the uniformed officers, he narrated the little that he managed to hear of the conversation between the man and the minor.
“I made him the Builders with Engineers taxi. They were going to the Puruchuco establishment in Ate. They were talking, both of them (victim and kidnapper), I had no idea. It would be another thing if he has made her go up by force. The girl alone has gone up (to the taxi). She was with her cell phone and the subject said to her 'did you pass this game yet?'. 'Yes,' the girl said," he said.
