Alejandra Saldarriaga, 32, says her family came to Britain about three years ago to escape cartel violence in one of Colombia’s most dangerous cities. She reports that her plans for the future have been “put on pause” after her 15-year-old son, Brayan, was murdered in Hackney on May 25. According to the accounts provided, Brayan was killed at or connected to a house party in London. Saldarriaga says she is considering whether her family may have to move back to Colombia in response to the loss and the broader situation in London. The reports describe her relocation from Colombia as driven by safety concerns related to cartel activity, and her current reconsideration of remaining in the UK follows the killing of her son. The sources agree on the basic timeline: the family’s arrival in Britain roughly three years ago, Brayan’s death in London on May 25, and Saldarriaga’s stated uncertainty about the family’s next steps, including the possibility of returning to Colombia.
