The urologist Juan Guillermo Aristizábal, murdered a few days ago by a former patient your at the clinic’s office Medellin in the El Poblado area, he was so prestigious in his work that he was chosen by several doctors, his colleagues, to treat them.

On the day he was shot dead in his office, he was treating another doctor, a well-known heart surgery specialist, who was with him when they heard the first shots fired by the killer. John Ferney Cano He hit the secretary.

The patient, a prominent heart surgeon, asked the urologist to protect himself while they found out what was happening, but the victim preferred to open the door to see.

What they found was the secretary wounded by two shots, one in the stomach and another in the arm. As soon as the killer saw the urologist Juan Guillermo Aristizábal, he shot him in the chest and head, causing his death instantly.

Immediately followingwards, Jhon Ferney Cano noticed the patient, pointed it at him and hammered the gun, which miraculously did not fire. Maybe it jammed or maybe the bullets in that load had run out.

Everything is told in a terrifying voice note that the surviving doctor recorded and sent to his colleagues. I can’t publish it because I don’t have permission from the author.

As is well known, the murderer wrote and left behind an extensive book in which he tells the story of his life and the reasons which, according to him, led him to plan the murder of Dr. Aristizábal for at least seven months.

The sentencing decision has an exact date: Thursday 21 September 2023, the same day he began writing the criminal manifesto.

The book, in addition to containing the personal history of the killer, also contains the documents of his medical history and the urological treatment which, according to him, was born of a bad practice of the victim for which he decided to kill him.

I read the 369 pages and spoke with a doctor who also read them to understand what was going through the mind of the killer Jhon Ferney Cano. The specialist who shared his impressions pointed out that, following seeing the medical history, he is absolutely sure of two things:

  • There is no evidence of medical malpractice on the part of the victim, Dr. Juan Guillermo Aristizábal. If it was, it wouldn’t have cost him his life either, everyone can make mistakes, but his colleague assures that the urologist strictly followed the protocols for diagnosing and treating the person who would become his killer.
  • It is not true, as has been stated without scientific basis, that the murderer had suffered a post-operative complication. The operation produced the expected results and the recovery was satisfactory. According to the published clinical history, the pain he suffered had no origin or aggravation due to the intervention.
  • Jhon Ferney Cano’s book and his clinical history show that he was not schizophrenic, as some have claimed, but he had a psychopathic and obsessive personality.

    Cano also reflects in his writing an exceptional intelligence that had no opportunity to develop.

    He was the son of very poor farmers, who emigrated to a municipality in Medellín. His childhood is marked by hunger, domestic violence, school bullying of which he was a victim, and a neighborhood surrounded by assassins and gang members.

    Although he admits that he was an undisciplined student, he also says that he excelled in mathematics and became the best student in his grade. However, the very poor conditions in his life prevented him from reaching the University of Antioquia to study a professional career as he would have wanted.

    The killer began to be subjected to labor exploitation from a very young age. He looked following cows in exchange for a miserable salary and for many years he was unable to have a job under formal conditions. The income from his first jobs was below the minimum wage and he had to work many more hours than those stipulated in the legal day.

    Nothing justifies his crimes, but the story of his life is shocking because of all he suffered and the early deterioration of his health. He suffered from toothache, and at a very young age he damaged his spine, apparently permanently, by carrying sand beyond his muscular capacity.

    However, the disease that led him to become a murderer and suicide began in 2016. His girlfriend infected him with a sexually transmitted disease. Although a veteran, retired urologist successfully treated him, he continued to complain of pain in his private parts.

    The book is full of reproaches to the EPS which, according to him, delayed appointments with specialists and refused him ordered investigations.

    In an attempt to find relief, he decided to go on his own, that is, at his own expense, to the urologist Juan Guillermo Aristizábal, a university professor who examined him and recommended that he be circumcised.

    Operation which was carried out successfully and without complications, according to the medical history.

    This operation, performed in early childhood, leaves no trace in adults it may leave a keloid scar. That was the case of Cano who complained because, according to him, his penis looked very ugly, and in addition the pain that had nothing to do with the circumcision, but apparently with a rare neuropathy of the pudendal nerve.

    From that moment the threats once morest the doctor began. He also visited a number of urologists to be told that he had had a bad operation. Something he never achieved. The specialists told him that the operation was correctly performed.

    In the book, he grossly disqualifies the urologists of Medellín, saying that they are “cowards, cunning, hypocritical, mediocre, greedy, starving and complete bitches”.

    He adds that “if I might I would hang them or impale them.”

    The book also contains the death sentence of Dr. Aristizábal: “I have decided that the person who mutilated my virile member in a cruel way must die” “This scum must be beaten repeatedly with a gun until all his organs are pierced, especially his rotten heart . “Seeing him bleed is my desire and I will work with devotion to wipe out that garbage.”

    The killer was also very angry with two lawyers he hired to sue the doctor Aristizábal.

    The first of them advised him to settle, since the doctor wanted to avoid litigation and offered him compensation of 5 million pesos. Cano refused, saying he preferred to continue a civil suit that had failed because there was no evidence of the urologist’s liability.

    Another lawyer asked Cano for two and a half million to investigate whether there was any documentation of Dr. Aristizábal or anything that would allow another lawsuit to be substantiated. When she told him she found nothing, the killer felt betrayed.

    Cano assures in his book that the doctor laughed and mocked his claims. Those who knew the doctor consider it unlikely that he would have acted in that way. Anyway, the only two people present at the call today are dead.

    The book contains two words that caught my attention: “patatas” to refer to potatoes and “chaval” to refer to a young boy.

    The metadata of the electronic document will be reviewed by homicide investigators to determine if someone knew regarding and edited the manifesto before the crime and did not alert authorities to what was going on in Jhon Ferney Cano’s brain.
