The case of Professor Neill Felipe Cubides, a professor at the Externado University of Colombia, has taken a shocking turn after knowing the preliminary ruling of Forensic Medicine.
The forensic report reveals that the academic was not only murdered, but was the victim of bloody torture before the culprits tried to disappear any trace of evidence in the south of Bogotá.
According to initial findings, Neill Felipe Cubides suffered three stab wounds with a knife, was severely beaten, and finally died from mechanical asphyxiation through strangulation.
The cruelty of the crime did not end with his death. The criminals proceeded to incinerate the teacher’s body to erase the traces of torture and make his identification difficult.

Yefrín Garavito, CEO of the Criminal Investigation Unit, explained that the state in which the body was found on January 16 suggests a premeditated plan to hinder the work of justice.
While crime laboratories advance additional tests to determine if there are more injuries hidden behind the fire, uncertainty surrounds the motives of this atrocious event that has shocked the academic community and the country’s capital.
For now, security cameras are being analyzed where the teacher would be seen boarding a vehicle, a piece that would be key to putting together the puzzle of a death that today leaves mourning in the higher education system.
