Peru: 248 murders in 46 days under Fujimori; Lima police density low

Peru has recorded 248 murders in the first 46 days of Keiko Fujimori's government, with Lima accounting for the highest share. The violence persists despite states of emergency, and police density in the capital is only 92 per 100,000 residents, with record-keeping delays likely worsening the toll. This indicates the security crisis is deepening and may undermine the new administration's authority.
