An Australian journalist has told of the moment he came eye-to-eye with one of South America’s most prolific killers. Rusty Young interviewed Pablo Escobar’s hitman for his new documentary.
It was a nerve-racking experience – even for a man who voluntarily spent several months inside a Bolivian prison.
‘That was a really hairy interview,’ said Rusty Young, who met the former cartel hitman John ‘Popeye’ Velasquez during the making of his new documentary Wildlands.
