Peru Probes Two Suspected Femicide Cases as Lima Victim Fights for Life

Family pleas intensify pressure on police for swift arrests.

Overview

  • In Lima, cosmiatrist Yanet Urbano remains in intensive care with about 70% burns and multiple stab wounds, and her sister says doctors warned of possible brain death.
  • Relatives named her ex-partner, Luis Andrés Flores Julca, after security cameras showed a masked man arriving with packages and later leaving with bags.
  • Police are treating the Lima attack as an attempted femicide, and the family is urging the swift capture of the suspected attacker.
  • In Chiclayo, domestic worker Yeny María Farroñay, 57, was found fatally stabbed in a home where she was caring for a 3-year-old, and homicide detectives are leading the inquiry.
  • Reports differ on the Chiclayo suspect’s status, with Trome citing a police detention and La República reporting a flight from the scene, and hotlines like Línea 100 are being shared for urgent support.
