It's beautiful. Everyone says it looks like her mother. " But what we know is that with his wife Aida, just brought the world to whom almost two decades later would become the biggest mass murderer of the country's criminal history. The journalist Rodolfo Palacios reconstructed in The Black Angel's life Carlos Eduardo Robledo Puch or The Monster, Red Cat, Hyena, baby-faced Devil (among many names with the press at the time called it), who killed in cold blood and in the back eleven people between March 15, 1971 and February 3, 1972.

19 years old, his face pale, blue eyes and golden curls on his forehead that Justice was found guilty of committing more than a dozen murders during a wild race heinous crime.
