Editing Leticia Lopez (section)

==Background==
Lopez and Granada had rooms next to each other<ref name="bbc" /> in their cloister in Colombia's historic capital Bogota's Candelaria district.<ref name="tele" /> Granada worked closely with sex workers and drug users,<ref name="iol">[https://www.iol.co.za/news/world/nun-convicted-for-murder-that-shocked-cops-81293 Nun convicted for murder that shocked cops] - IOL, January 24, 2002</ref> and the children of sex workers.<ref name="tele" />

Granada was conspicuous on the streets of Colombia for both her work with the socially disadvantaged and her striking red hair and blue eyes, both unusual for the region.<ref name="bbc" /> Dozens of prostitutes had recently been killed, apparently by right-wing vigilantes performing "social cleansing", and Granada was championing the rights of these victims.<ref name="tele" />

Lopez hated Granada for her work with these less fortunate souls.<ref name="iol" /><ref name="bbc" /><ref name="tele" /> She may have been emboldened by the case of nuns Luz Adelia Barragan and Eva Maria Silva, who in August 1999 had been acquitted of murder after accidentally striking a thief while firing warning shots into the garden of their convent.<ref name="priorcase">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/412329.stm Colombian nuns cleared of murder] - BBC, August 5, 1999</ref>
