In brief

The shocking case revealed how Canserbero's manager and her brother staged his death as a suicide after committing the crime, and now those involved are facing justice.

In a gripping turn of events, a forensic expert, three police officers, and a music impresario have been sentenced to 15-20 years in prison for their complicity in the cover-up of Venezuelan rapper Canserbero's murder. The horrific crime, perpetrated by manager Natalia Améstica, involved drugging and stabbing the rapper, whose true name was Tirone González, before throwing his body from a tenth-floor window. Initially ruled a murder-suicide, Améstica later confessed in December 2023, revealing how she had laced a tea served to Canserbero and his friend Carlos Molnar with tranquilizers before committing the violent acts in a fit of jealousy. Her brother and several police officers helped stage the scene, and they all now face justice as more details about the case emerge.
