Teenager nicknamed ‘little bean’ accused of more than 30 murders

Police in Colombia arrested the 17-year-old who is accused of carrying out more than 30 murders.

The teen, known as ‘Frijolito’ which means ‘little bean’, allegedly began killing people around the age of 12 and developed a reputation for ruthlessness as head of a gang of drug traffickers and assassins that terrorised the southern city.

He has most recently been linked to a double homicide at a shopping centre in Cali.

He is now being



held at a juvenile detention centre until he turns 18 when he will then be transferred to a prison.

Cali police chief Hugo Casas said the teenager ‘probably began his life of crime very young due to gangs and crime rings.’

He added: ‘He is really a dangerous person, it was good to get him and let’s say the city is free of a person who could continue doing these deeds outside authority.’
