El Salvador captures escaped female killer "Boss"
26 May 2017 - 00H40
GUATEMALA CITY (AFP) - Security forces in El Salvador on Thursday captured the female leader of a hit-squad-for-hire two weeks after she escaped from a Guatemalan prison where she was serving a 94-year sentence, officials said.
Marixa Lemus, a 45-year-old Guatemalan who went by the nickname "The Boss," was arrested in the west of El Salvador near the Guatemalan border.
She had dyed her hair blond "to try to avoid being identified," Guatemalan Interior Minister Francisco Rivas told reporters.
Lemus had escaped her military-run prison north of Guatemala City on May 11.
