Brawl between cousins ​​and a drug kiosk involved

But what was the conflict? Cuevas confided that The complainant told the officers that a few months ago he intended to buy a house for his cousin and for this he paid him two million pesos. However, his cousin he never handed over the property, which led to a complaint of fraud by the 23-year-old against the other.
