But that is a matter of investigation,” said Colonel Leonardo Capacho, commander of District One of the Cúcuta Metropolitan Police.
History of Abuse
Women’s rights advocates say Estupiñan had previously reported an ex-partner for stalking and abuse.
“He stalked her and abused her,” said Alejandra Vera, director of Mujer Denuncia y Muévete, a local women’s rights organization.
Magda Victoria Acosta, president of Colombia’s National Gender Commission, confirmed that Estupiñan was a driven young woman with a promising future.
“She was a young, enterprising woman with a whole life ahead of her, but those dreams are cut short like the dreams of many women in this country,” Acosta said.
