BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Colombian police say the son of a warlord extradited to the U.S. on drug charges has been murdered.
Authorities say unidentified assailants shot and killed 32-year-old Vladimir Vanoy on Sunday at the gate to his condominium outside Bogota.
Ramiro "Cuco" Vanoy is Validmir's father. He was extradited to the United States in May with 13 other far-right warlords. A Miami judge earlier this month sentenced him to 24 years in prison on drug-trafficking charges.
After the sentencing, the newspaper El Tiempo quoted one of his lawyers as saying he would no longer cooperate with investigations into crimes associated with far-right militias.
But El Tiempo later quoted a top prosecutor as saying "Cuco" Vanoy would cooperate.

Cerealkiller says on Oct 21, 2008, 02:08: No they didn't billyB, I am not defending nor justifying vanoy. The guy is a POS and deserbes to be left to rot in jail for th e rest of his life. But I respect and value human life over revenge (unless revenge is directed towards the specific person- not his family members). Seems like you guys think revenge trumps any respect for human life, and that is very scary.

billyb says on Oct 21, 2008, 07:00: Yes he did, Cuco sowed it, now he's reaping it. I, for one, feel not an ounce of simpathy for his loss. BTW, I guarantee his son was involved in his doings, so killing him is doing Colombia favor by getting rid of another piece of sh!t.

toneloc24 says on Oct 21, 2008, 07:07: I'm sure the son had no problem living in that condo outside of Bogota, amongst the other houses and fincas, provided by funds from his father's drug biz. Oh well, guess he should've thought about that. Now his family get to feel the pain they administered to others, while they were living the "good life." "PBH is dead!!!!" 0 funny, 0 helpful. |
