Six Colombian suspects in the August assassination of Ecuador presidential candidate and anti-corruption crusader Fernando Villavicencio were killed in prison on Friday, officials said, just a week to a key election run-off.
It later clarified the deceased were “of Colombian nationality and accused of the murder of former presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio.” It added in a statement on X that “in the coming hours, specialized military personnel will carry out the first raids and reconnaissance of Cellblock 7, where the incidents originated, to take control of the situation.”
Six Colombians with long criminal records were arrested shortly after, while a seventh was killed at the scene of the crime. More than 430 inmates have died violently since 2021, dozens of them dismembered and incinerated amid disputes between rival gangs.
