Paraguay’s prosecutor of organised crime and drug-trafficking cases, Marcelo Pecci, has been killed by gunmen on a Colombian beach as he honeymooned with his new wife, who said the attackers came on a jetski or small boat.
The hotel where the couple were staying said the attackers arrived on a jetski and shot Pecci while the couple were on the beach. Aguilera, who was not hurt in the attack, said one of them got off and “without saying a word shot Marcelo twice, once in the face and once in the back”.
The gunmen also fired at a security guard, who was unhurt, the hotel said.
Pecci married the journalist Claudia Aguilera in April. She recently shared photos on social media showing her and Pecci on the Baru peninsula in the Caribbean, south of the Colombian city of Cartagena.
Hours before the attack she posted a photo on social media a photo showing herself and her husband with a pair of baby’s shoes along with the message: “The best wedding gift … the approaching life that is a testimony to the sweetest love.”
Colombia’s foreign minister and vice-president, Marta Lucía Ramírez, said authorities were working to clarify “the motives and authors of this heinous crime”.
The Colombian defence minister, Diego Molano, said that a “high command” criminal investigation unit had been sent to Cartagena, and Paraguayan and US officials would help identify and prosecute the perpetrators, according to the police.
The director of Colombia’s national police, Gen Jorge Luis Vargas, said he was unaware Pecci was in Colombia. He said Pecci was one of the most heavily guarded people in Paraguay since he “investigated cases of international terrorism”.
Pecci was investigating several high-profile cases in Paraguay, including a shooting at a concert in January where an alleged drug trafficker and a footballer’s wife were killed.
The Paraguayan president, Mario Abdo Benítez, decried the “cowardly murder” of the prosecutor on Twitter and vowed to redouble his country’s efforts against organised crime.
Paraguay is South America’s largest marijuana producer. Growing the plant is still illegal, with much of the crop smuggled into Argentina and Brazil.
