The Peruvian National Police arrested him on Friday at 2:00 p.m. In Lima, Cristian Hernan Young Granadino, nicknamed Chuky, 45 years old, was wanted by the Spanish judiciary and included on the list of those most wanted around the world by Europol after the murder of teenager Silvia Rodriguez, in 2010, in the municipality of Leganés in Madrid, a crime that caused a great international uproar. After being on the run for 15 years under a false identity, he was finally found by the Directorate for Investigation of Human Trafficking and Illegal Smuggling of Migrants with the support of INTERPOL’s National Central Bureaux Lima, which verified that the detainee had a false national identity document bearing another surname.
Thus, he evaded justice for more than a decade before he was arrested in the vicinity of the Productos Cielo company, located in the Lorraine region, south of the Peruvian capital. The alert was issued with an Interpol Red Notice on November 16, 2010, six days after the teenager’s murder, which occurred on November 10. The National Police confirmed that the victim met the killer when she was 14 years old and he was 28 years old. The young woman died at the age of 16. Her surroundings indicate that the relationship was characterized by abuse. Three weeks before the crime, in October, Rodriguez decided to end her relationship with Granadino after experiencing bouts of physical violence, but she continued to suffer from ongoing harassment.
One Tuesday, he returned from school around 2:30 p.m. He was eating with his mother and sister. She stayed home until about 7:30 p.m., when a friend went to pick her up. Her family did not hear from her that night, but they did not give her any importance because they thought she had spent the night at the house of the young woman she had gone out with. There was that possibility. But the reality was much harsher. A man who was searching through garbage raised the alarm after his body was found inside a suitcase inside a container, in front of No. 5 Germany Avenue, in the El Carrascal neighborhood of Leganés, where Granadino lives, who attacked Rodriguez in the neck with a machete.
According to the investigation, he had purchased a plane ticket to his hometown of Lima in advance to travel on the same day of the murder. Before fleeing, he said goodbye to the owner of the house, claiming that he had to travel due to the illness of a family member. She arrived in Spain in 2003 with her mother, who worked as an intern in Plaza de Castilla.
