A doll-faced killer will get thrown in the box.
A sultry 23-year-old Colombian woman known as “The Doll” and labeled a “dangerous hitwoman” was arrested in connection to several targeted gangland killings — including the recent ambush murder of her ex-lover, according to local reports.
Karen Julieth Ojeda Rodriguez — known to police by the alias “La Muneca” or “The Doll” — was cuffed for her alleged involvement in several high-profile murders in the municipality of Barrancabermeja allegedly carried out at the behest of Los de la M gang, Spanish language outlet Libertad Digital reported Thursday.
Rodriguez was reportedly in the midst of a career expansion, leading a small cadre of hitmen conducting a reign of terror in the region prior to her arrest, according to a report from Spanish outlet Infobae.
Rodriguez was picked up by police after the July 23 ambush assassination of her ex-boyfriend in a rural area of Colombia known as Piedecuesta, according to Magdalena Medio Police.
The femme fatale called her ex, Deyvy Jesus, and beckoned him to meet so the two could supposedly resolve a money dispute, police said.
But the unsuspecting beau was riddled with bullets when two men drove by on a motorcycle and gunned him down, allegedly at the behest of the Doll, the report recounted.
Rodriguez was arrested alongside an accomplice Paula Valentina Joya Rueda, 24, who is known under the alias “Gorda Sicaria,” which translates to “Fat Hitwoman,” according to Libertad Digital.
Another accomplice, identified as “Leopoldo” was taken into custody at the same time as “The Doll” — with police saying they seized a revolver and a 9-millimeter caliber pistol during the arrest.
Police are working to determine if those weapons were used in any of the recent killings, according to local reports.
“With the capture of alias La Muneca and alias Leopoldo, a period of calm has been created in the region. These arrests mark progress in the dismantling of criminal structures responsible for the recent homicides,” Lieutenant Colonel Muaricio Herrara of the Magdalena Medio Police said, according to Infobae.
A homicide is reported every three days in Bucaramanga, Colombia, which boasts a population of just over 1,300,000 people, according to World Population Review.
Officials have yet to announce the charges that La Muneca and her alleged accomplices will face.
