National prosecutor announces more arrests in quadruple murder case as Víctor Revoredo responds

Peru’s national prosecutor, Tomás Gálvez, says the investigation into the kidnapping and murder of four people in Trujillo has uncovered more possible suspects, but he is not yet disclosing details.

“There are some additional detainees. I cannot give further details, but work is under way,” Gálvez told Exitosa. He said the Public Prosecutor’s Office was coordinating with the National Police as investigators pursued the case.

Gálvez also criticized police for publicly displaying five detainees linked to the crime. He argued that the practice could breach rules governing criminal investigations, particularly when authorities present suspects to generate media impact. In his view, demonstrating operational effectiveness does not justify violating legal requirements.

The prosecutor also questioned coordination between the police and prosecutors during the first investigative steps into the kidnapping of Jenss Lara and the deaths of the four victims. He said both institutions should work together, but that each had followed a different strategy in this case.

Police general Víctor Revoredo, asked about possible new arrests, said the matter was being handled by prosecutors and the police in the La Libertad region. “It is under investigation. The Trujillo region should report that,” he told La República.
