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.

" Authorities say unidentified assailants shot and killed 32-year-old Vladimir Vanoy on
Sunday at the gate to his condominium outside >> Bogota." NOT THE USA

I wonder how many people, men, women, children lost their lives to these people? Even in prison they control the drug traffic. His death will serve to save many but will cost the lives of many also. When you play with fire surly at some point in time you will be burned.

I can't think of a better punishment for "Cuco" than to suffer as he has made thousands of Colombian families suffer.

What about Vladimir's Children? I am sure they too deserved to grow up without a father.

Not any more than the children of the thousands murdered by their grandfather. Sadly, they can thank Abuelo Cuco for being orphans. Ultimately, it is all on his hands.

sonny- I meant who are EXTRADITED to the USA but are in Colombia because of fear that they will cooperate and expose the truth of the dealers...

I just can't celebrate anyone's death, particularly a death that will prevent justice from being served in the larger scheme of things.

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.

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.

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."
