A well-known Peruvian lawyer was killed by her 22-year-old daughter who planned and carried out the murder with the help of her boyfriend and another acquaintance because the victim was

opposed to her romantic relationship, Peruvian police said.

Gen. Cesar Guardia, the head of the Criminal Division of the National Police said at a press conference that the murder in January of attorney Elizabeth Vasquez was carried out by her daughter

Elizabeth Espino, the young woman's boyfriend Fernando Gonzalez, 24, and a friend of his, Jorge Eduardo Cornejo, 21.

Guardia further disclosed that "the trio arranged, planned and carried out the crime, in which each person had his/her part".

The daughter is facing between 15 and 35 years in prison, as are her accomplices, according to court sources.

According to Guardia," The murder was conceived and planned starting last year because the lawyer opposed the relationship her daughter began in 2008 with Gonzalez, a young man without any known profession, and the couple discussed it constantly."

Although initially, the victim's only daughter had told police that her mother left her house after receiving a telephone call on the morning of Jan 27, investigators found traces of blood in the

garage at the home and focussed their inquiry on the woman's closest associates, including family members.

Victim's ex-husband, former anti-drug prosecutor Alejandro Espino had expressed his suspicions that it was a revenge-killing as the beaten and strangled body of the victim was found inside

the trunk of her car some distance from the home.

Saying that she was "tired of her rules, do this, do that, don't get together with that boy", the daughter confessed the crime to police. (With Input from Agencies)
