'Gang member' arrested in Spain over the murder of a British 21-year-old after international manhunt
An alleged gang member wanted over the fatal stabbing of a young man in London has been arrested near Barcelona following an international manhunt. Spanish police detained the fugitive at the request of UK authorities and said that he belonged to the notorious Latin gang Trinitarios. The unnamed detainee, wanted in connection with the death of 21-year-old Giovanny Rendon Bedoya in Walworth, south London, on April 14, was arrested as he entered a restaurant in the town of Sabadell around 15 miles north-west of Barcelona. He now faces extradition to the UK and a possible 'life sentence,' according to Spanish authorities. MailOnline has approached Metropolitan Police for comment. Giovanny died after he was attacked on Hillingdon Street last month following reports of fighting between a number of people armed with knives. The 21-year-old, who lived locally, sustained serious injuries and was treated by the London Ambulance Service before he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. He was pronounced dead at the scene despite the efforts of police and paramedics to save him. Following the incident five men and a woman were detained near Kennington but had been bailed. Four of the men have been named by police as Joseph Jimenez, 21; Angel Gonzales Angulo, 19; Brian Villada-Hernandes, 19; and Zozoro Mohamed Olivier, 20. Cops previously said a 17-year-old boy was also arrested on suspicion of murder. Confirming the arrest near Barcelona today, Spain's National Police said in a statement: 'National Police officers have arrested a member of the Trinitarios gang in the town of Sabadell in Barcelona who is wanted by the British justice system after allegedly committing a murder in the United Kingdom. 'An international arrest warrant was issued for him after the crime which took place on April 14. 'He could face a life sentence for attacking with five other alleged members of the same gang, another young man from a rival gang who was killed. 'The investigation was launched by the British authorities on 14 April when the fugitive and five other alleged members of the Trinitarios gang violently accosted another young man from a rival gang following a dispute. 'During the assault, they allegedly caused serious injuries to the victim including the amputation of fingers, the loss of an organ and multiple fractures and stabbed him in the abdomen, resulting in his death. 'After the man arrested in Sabadell was identified as one of the alleged perpetrators, it was discovered that he could be in Spain with the intention of fleeing to his native Dominican Republic. 'Once the British National Crime Agency liaison officers informed Spanish officers the fugitive could be here, they began an investigation to locate and arrest him. 'The initial investigations by officers revealed he could be hiding somewhere in the province of Barcelona, and surveillance and tracking was undertaken in the areas he could frequent. 'During one of the surveillance operations, the fugitive was located when he was about to enter a restaurant and identified and arrested.' The Trinitarios gang is said to have been founded in 1993 by two Dominicans facing separate murder charges being held in the Rikers Islands New York City jail. Spiralling violence around Madrid in recent years has been blamed on the fracturing and spread of Dominican gangs which have become Spain's primary urban security threat.
