Leonardo Arrabal Cruz Murillo (21 December 1898 - 12 June 1957) was a Montillan dictator who founded and led the National Renewal Alliance (ARENA). He was the Caudillo of Montilla from the Guaitiazo in 1943 until his summary execution following the Montillan Revolution in 1957. As the ruler of Montilla, Murillo is regarded as the deadliest figure in the history of the country, heading the Years of Desolation and overseeing the systematic persecution of minorities and political opposition.
