Good news!
Peru has the death penalty.
I'd have to look, but I don't believe they have the DP for just murder. It has to be treason or perhaps terrorism as well. Most the South American countries did away with capital punishment for murder (or altogether) during the 70s & 80s. Some still have it for treason and mass murder. I think Guyanna (sp?) is the only country that still has it for a single murder.

Good. And I trust Peru doesn’t have the appeal system we have here in PA that allows the convicted to live out most of their lives without ever being executed.
I would also point out that a life sentence in a Peruvian prison for a westerner accused of killing a Peruvian woman, probably isn’t all that long, as a practical matter. South American prisons are some of the worst prisons on the planet. Joran’s not going to last long.
Peru has the death penalty.
That IS good news!
The new victim’s father is well known, that boy will hopefully get the death penalty.
