Found guilty of killing his partner, a man from Vaud was sentenced to seven years in prison in Peru. However, his trial took place without him, as he had previously managed to vanish. This incident, which caused a stir in the local media in 2019, went unnoticed in Switzerland. After hearing this story, I tracked down the man in his thirties who had come to seek refuge near Morges.
