A hitman, 15, has claimed he earned £70 per murder and “likes blood too much” to stop killing people.

The teen, who goes by the nickname Santiago, lives with his mum and sister in the city of Medellin, Colombia.

He claims he entered the profession of a contract killer to avenge his brother’s murder.

In a TV interview, he claimed that he uses his blood money to support his family – including his sister who is still in school.

In an interview on the TV show Los Informantes, the teen said that his younger brother was killed for refusing to be recruited as a hitman for a criminal gang in Medellin.

Santiago said the gang had tried to recruit him as a hitman, and he had refused them so they didn't like the idea, but changed his mind when his brother was then murdered.

To avenge his brother, Santiago said he managed to kill two of the men who murdered him.

He’ said is still looking for two others, and while it does so he is working as a full-time assassin, admitting that he cannot stop feeling hatred.

Santiago said of his first mission as a paid assassin: "I borrowed a gun and they told me a motorbike would arrive and take me to the place where I had to kill someone."

When asked if he ever feels fear, Santiago answered: "In the beginning, I felt scared, but not anymore. It seems I have ended up liking blood too much."

According to Santiago, the only requirement to becoming a gang hitman is having killed someone before.

Then, wannabe paid killers can start making money on every new assignment.

He said: "I work from 11pm until 4am every day selling drugs in the neighbourhood, and I make some money. If I kill someone, they pay me 300,000 COP (£70).”

Santiago said he has been supporting his family since he was 10 years old and currently pays for his younger sister's high school education.
