After being arrested for allegedly killing two people last year, a Colombian man surprised police when he explained that he managed to evade capture for months thanks to the help of a "diabolical goblin." According to a local media report, the weird case came to light this week when authorities apprehended Kevin Orlando Arias Forero, who was wanted for the murder of two men in an incident that occurred back in April. The months-long search for the suspect culminated in a wild chase wherein he hit a police officer with his motorcycle before crashing and being taken into custody, which is when cops noticed a curious doll (seen above) in his possession.
Upon being questioned about the peculiar figurine, Forero coolly replied "he's the diabolical goblin who protected me." The accused killer went on to explain that he prayed to a sinister spirit that inhabits the doll every morning at 4 AM, which is why it had taken authorities months to catch him. As for why he wound behind bars this week, Forero lamented that he failed to do the ritual on that particular morning, leading to the goblin rescinding its protection and causing him to be captured. The young man has been charged with two murder counts as well a litany of other crimes associated with his attempted getaway. The whereabouts of the doll are unknown, though cops may wish to keep it under lock and key lest it helps facilitate any further trouble.
