A young mum who dumped her boyfriend and was making a new life for herself as an influencer has been killed two days after moving into her new home.

The 28-year-old blogger Lisney Juliana Gomez, known as Yaya’ two friends, was making the new flat comfortable for herself and her son but was killed two days after moving into the apartment in the Santa Fe neighbourhood, in the Colombian capital of Magdalena, on the early hours of the 8th January.

According to reports, the neighbours had heard screams and blows coming from the apartment during the night, but apparently had not wanted to intervene, thinking it was just a lover’s tiff.

The body then lay undiscovered for a week before Lisney’s friends, who were looking after her son, decided to go there and find out why she was not answering their calls, and found her dead.

They told local media that she had several wounds that they believed were caused by a sharp weapon.

However, a police source told local media that it has not been confirmed yet how the blogger was killed and added: “At the moment, it is not known if it was with a firearm, knife or asphyxiation, we are working to clarify what happened.”

The main suspect for the murder is Lisney’s ex-boyfriend, named as Mario Bastidas, who was in the room at the time of the incident. He went on the run but later handed himself into police and admitted what he had done.

Metropolitan Police commander, Colonel Yasid Montano, told local media that Bastidas now faces charges of murder and femicide.

Lisney’s friend, who has not been named, said: “She didn’t deserve that. People write to me to insult me ​​and tell me that she was on the wrong track.

“She was murdered by her ex-partner, a jerk who never loved her or valued her.

“I hope justice is done.”

Secretary of Women and Gender Equality of Santa Marta said they are conducting a process for the victim’s son and added: “We were at the scene of the events and now we are where the alleged murderer is giving statements about how the events occurred.

“We also contacted the director of the Icbf [The Colombian Institute of Family Welfare[, because the rights of the victim’s son are at stake.”
