Colombian 'hitwoman' known as 'The Doll' arrested over several murders including ex-boyfriend
True crime fans might have someone new to investigate after a 'dangerous hitwoman' known as 'The Doll' has been arrested, and some are already joking that they 'can't wait for this Netflix series.'
The 23-year-old Colombian has been given the alias 'La Muneca' or 'The Doll', and she has now been arrested in connection to several targeted gangland killings.
Local press reports that one of the killings included her ex-lover as one of the victims.
Karen Julieth Ojeda Rodriguez was seen being taken away in handcuffs, following her alleged involvement in an ambush murder.

The incidents took place in the municipality of Barrancabermeja.
According to Spanish language news outlet Libertad Digital, 'The Doll' is reported to be connected to a series of crimes linked to the Los de la M gang.
It has not yet been revealed what charges she will face.
Reports on Infobae allege that Rodriguez has been working with a small group of hitmen in the region.
Her arrest is in connection with an ambush assassination of her ex on July 23.
Magdalena Medio Police say her ex-boyfriend, Deyvy Jesus, was caught unaware, after The Doll called him and persuaded him to meet.
Law enforcement claim Rodriguez lured her former lover to the scene of the crime so they could solve a money dispute.
Devvy ended up being shot multiple times by two men on a motorbike and police claim the hit was ordered by 'The Doll'.
Rodriguez was arrested alongside Paula Valentina Joya Rueda, aged 24.
She has the less glamorous moniker of the two, known as 'Gorda Sicaria', which translates as 'Fat Hitwoman' says Libertad Digital.
A third accomplice called 'Leopoldo' was also arrested.
Police say they recovered a 9mm pistol and a revolver while making the arrests, and are currently working to establish whether either gun is the murder weapon.
Infobae reports Lieutenant Colonel Muaricio Herrara of the Magdalena Medio Police as saying: “With the capture of alias La Muneca and alias Leopoldo, a period of calm has been created in the region. These arrests mark progress in the dismantling of criminal structures responsible for the recent homicides."
Social media users have flooded X (formerly Twitter) with posts thanks to 'The Doll's' scowl in police photos.
"I can fix her," someone wrote.
"So she's single?" added another.
Others called for a documentary or series to be made about her and they've already suggested an actress: "Aubrey Plaza could nail that role".
"I would watch three seasons," a final one said.
