Former world speed skating champion Luz Mery Tristan, a mother of five and national sports icon, was tragically killed just two months before she was set to walk down the aisle. A court in Cali, Colombia, has now found her fiancé, Andres Gustavo Ricci Garcia, guilty of her murder in a crime that has shocked the nation.
Tristan, who made history as the first Colombian skater to win a world title in the 5,000m Inline Speed event in 1990, was reportedly found dead in her luxury home in August 2023. The court heard harrowing details of her final moments, revealing that a single gunshot severed her aorta, causing her to bleed out within minutes.
