Shooting of Marcelo Pecci in front of his wife decried by Paraguayan president as ‘cowardly murder’
Paraguay’s prosecutor of organised crime and drug-trafficking cases, Marcelo Pecci, has been killed by gunmen on a Colombian beach as he honeymooned with his new wife, who said the attackers came on a jetski or small boat.
The hotel where the couple were staying said the attackers arrived on a jetski and shot Pecci while the couple were on the beach. Aguilera, who was not hurt in the attack, said one of them got off and “without saying a word shot Marcelo twice, once in the face and once in the back”.
