Overview
- Authorities identified the escapee as Viviana Rivadeneyra Mariano, sentenced for human trafficking and hospitalized at about 40 weeks’ gestation after a transfer from the Socabaya women’s prison.
- Hospital CCTV shows her at 3:13 a.m. walking unrestrained through emergency and psychiatry areas in a green top and pink pants before leaving the facility; she had been assigned to bed 335-C on the third floor.
- The Tercera Fiscalía Provincial de Flagrancia detained INPE agents Leonor Chuctaya and Tatiana Apaza for alleged favorecimiento a la fuga and ordered urgent steps including video analysis, AFIS biometric checks, technical examinations, and witness statements, led by fiscal Albert Jhon Aldonates Molina.
- Reports indicate restraints were not applied, reportedly due to swollen feet, and hospital staff say the custodial agents were found apparently asleep, while INPE began an internal disciplinary process.
- The National Police activated search and recapture operations and alerted other health centers given potential medical risk to the mother and baby; the inmate remained at large as of the latest reports.
