Peruvian authorities have detained the suspected mastermind, known as 'little J,' in the brutal triple murder of two young women and a teenage girl in Argentina. This arrest, made in Pucusana, brings the total number of arrests in the case to nine. The victims, Morena Verdi, Brenda del Castillo, and Lara Gutierrez, were found buried after a live-streamed attack allegedly as a "warning" over drug theft. The mastermind, a Peruvian national, is accused of leading a drug gang, with another suspect identified as his second-in-command.
