November 9, 1988 - Richard Choque
His case became a flashpoint in Bolivian public debate less because of the confirmed killings than because of what surrounded them — allegations of dozens of rapes, a prior conviction that ended in early release, and a pattern of escalating violence afterward. The gap between what the legal system registered and what prosecutors alleged raised pointed questions about how the country handles repeat violent offenders. He was ultimately sentenced to 30 years for the 2021 crimes.
From Wikipedia
Richard Choque Flores (born November 9, 1988) is a Bolivian serial killer and rapist who killed at least two women in 2021, shortly after being released from a prior conviction. For the latter crimes, he was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment.
The severity of his crimes, the allegations that he had raped upwards of 77 women and possibly murdered others, and the fact that he escalated his brutality after his parole led to widespread discussion about the treatment of violent offenders in the country.
