Not for this type of crime I’ve been told. The maximum is 35 years. Too bad ... he deserves so much worse.

I thought I read that murder committed during robbery carries a life sentence. Homicidio agravado, or something like that. He apparently stole cash she was carrying and her jewelry.

He did, and he apparently new of her poker winnings prior to the murder. This may be like felony murder in the usa, a murder committed during the commission of another felony, which usually gets the death penalty, however no such penalty exists in peru for this type of crime.

It seems like the judge who charged him was greatly angered by the nature of this crime, and as well he should be. Hopefully, when convicted, Slut gets the harshest possible sentence to be served in the harshest possible place.

You were saying ...

Depending on how the case plays out, it could be just five years, perhaps, and up to 35 years ...

• Premeditated aggravated murder — up to a 35-year sentence

• Simple murder — up to 20 years

• Murder “as result of violent emotion" — from 3 to 5 years in prison

• "Injury that leads to death" — 1 to 3 years in prison
