Six inmates who were suspects in the August assassination of a presidential candidate in Ecuador were reportedly killed Oxt. 6 inside the Litoral Penitentiary, CBS News reported.
The inmates, all Colombian nationals, were accused of killing the former presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio, per CBS News. They were identified as: Jhon Gregore R., Andrés Manuel M., Adey Fernando G., Camilo Andrés R., Sules Osmini C. and José Neyder L.
“… The investigation into Villavicencio’s murder was approaching its conclusion when a disturbance erupted in Litoral prison, raising questions about its potential impact on the ongoing case.”
Villavicencio met a tragic end Aug. 9 when he was shot dead while leaving a political rally. Although he hadn’t been considered a front-runner in the presidential race, his assassination in broad daylight just weeks before the election shocked the nation. The deceased politician reportedly received threats from associates of Mexico’s Sinaloa drug cartel prior to his murder, CBS added.
… Ecuadoran President Guillermo Lasso announced his immediate convening of the Security Cabinet and expressed his commitment to uncovering the truth behind these incidents. He emphasized there would be no complicity or cover-up in the investigation. “In the next few hours I will return to Ecuador to attend to this emergency. Neither complicity nor cover-up, here the truth will be known,”
“The truth will be known”, but not which Ecuadorian politicians brought cartel assassins into the country in the first place — the cameras were broken.
