Juan Roa Sierra
Juan Roa Sierra (November 4, 1921 in Bogotá – April 9, 1948 in Bogotá) was a Colombian known for assassinating Colombian Liberal leader and presidential candidate Jorge Eliécer Gaitán on April 9, 1948. After he shot Gaitán three times, mortally wounding him, a mob chased him down and killed him. The assassination of Gaitan triggered El Bogotazo, riots that partially destroyed Bogota and led to the La Violencia, a period of violence that lasted until approximately 1958.
==Background==
Roa Sierra was the youngest child of Rafael Roa and Encarnación Sierra and had 13 siblings. In his book “El Crimen del Siglo” (The Crime of the Century) writer and playwright Miguel Torres reports that Juan Roa Sierra was born in the neighbourhood “Egipto” (Egypt) in Bogotá, just half a square away from the humble residence where Jorge Eliécer Gaitán was born. His father was a stonemason and died from a respiratory illness, probably caused by his work.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=El perfil del asesino )〕
Roa Sierra had had different jobs primarily as a stonemason, like his father. At some point he met a German astrologer named Johan Umland Gert and became a regular client. It is reported that Gert initiated Roa Sierra in Rosicrucianism, a medieval cult that adheres to the belief of reincarnation. Roa Sierra eventually confided in Gert his plans to find treasures in Facatativá and Monserrate. Before the events, eight of Roa Sierra’s siblings had died and another one had been committed to a mental institution. It is alleged that Roa Sierra’s mental health had also deteriorated to the point that he was convinced he was a reincarnation of Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada and Francisco de Paula Santander. He even used to style his hair to resemble the historical figures and stare at his own image in the mirror for hours.
Miguel Torres also argues in his book “El Crimen del Siglo” (The Crime of the Century) that evidence shows that Roa Sierra’s family were supporters of Gaitán and that Roa Sierra himself was very likely to have been a pro-Gaitán activist in the elections of 1946, which would have been the reason the police reportedly found in his house lots of campaign buttons with the face of the political leader. Roa Sierra’s former lover, María de Jesús Forero, with whom he had a daughter, was reported by newspaper EL TIEMPO as saying that he used lo listen to Gaitán’s conferences on the radio.
