A greeting to a “emotional and dedicated” scientist was made after finding parts of his broken body in a bag in Colombia.
Alessandro Katie, who worked at the Royal Biology Association (RSB) in London, was found on the outskirts of Santa Marta, a port city on the Caribbean coast. The 42 -year -old molecular biologist was traveling and is conducting research in South America after working in London for eight years.
The mayor of Santa Marta, Carlos Bendero Coelho, said that a reward of 9,000 pounds has been provided to obtain information that leads to the seizure of those responsible for the death of the Italian citizen.
In a statement published in X, Pondo Cuello said: “This crime will not go unpunished. Criminals must know that the crime has no place in Santa Marta. We will follow them until they are brought to justice.”
Santa Marta, which is surrounded by beaches and mountains, is a gateway to some of the most popular tourist destinations in Colombia including the village of Menca, the Tayuna National Park and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
Kouty, a hotel worker who spoke to the Colombian Limbo newspaper, inquired about the visit of Menca, famous for its organic coffee and the lives of various birds, and was conducting research on local animal species, according to Associated Press.
Former RSB colleagues, who obtained a master’s degree at College College University in London, described as “funny, warm and intelligent” in RSB, where he worked for eight years as an official of science policy before his promotion to the Supreme Science Policy official. Catatti was among the RSB representatives who appeared before Parliament in June 2022 to discuss the future organization of genetic technologies in the UK.
RSB left at the end of 2024 to volunteer in Ecuador and travel in South America.
“He was an emotional and dedicated scientist, as he was leading animal science works in RSB, and wrote many presentations, organizing events, and providing evidence in the House of Commons,” RSB said in a statement. “Alele was funny, warm, intelligent and loved by everyone who worked with him and all those who knew and worked with him will miss him.
“Our ideas and best wishes come out to his friends and family at this time really terrible.”
After promoting the newsletter
Katie previously talked about his passion for his social media work. In LinkedIn, he explained that “he focuses especially on the topics of moral research and innovation, especially in the vital and vital medical fields.”
Discussing his transition to politics in an interview with him in February 2022 published on the RSB website, described that he was driven by a long “passion for science” and “a new passion for building society and the participation of stakeholders,” adding: “I discovered that I really love obligations and negotiation.
