Colombian authorities have charged an American citizen over the alleged murder of a female DJ in Colombia whose body was discovered inside a suitcase at the bottom of a garbage container
John Poulos was arrested and detained at the Tocumen International Airport in Panama on Tuesday while trying to leave for Istanbul, the Panamanian National Police said. During a televised court hearing in Bogota, lasting more than five hours, Poulos spoke through a translator to deny the charges, which relate to the death of Valentina Trespalacios, 23, a well-known electronic music DJ.
Trespalacios’ body was found by a recycler in the early hours of January 22 in a garbage container in the southwest of Bogota. In a previous hearing on Thursday, the court heard details of a relationship between Trespalacios and Poulos. Poulos’s defense alleged that there were flaws in his arrest and that due process had not been respected.
