Venezuela massacre victims likely killed by Colombian neo-paramilitaries: Official
Mar 11, 2014 posted by Luke Horswell
The murder of five Colombians in Venezuela over the weekend is likely the work of the Colombian neo-paramilitary group Los Urabeños said Colombias Medical Examiners Office Tuesday.
The institutes director Carlos Valdes told Semana magazine that the cause of death corresponds, in all five cases, to a bullet passing through the skull, a modus operandi commonly associated with Los Urabeños, who control most of Colombias drug trade along the Caribbean coast into the neighboring country.
Valdes added that the bodies were in a high state of decomposition
and heavily contamination with sand and earth so distance of the shootings and gun type were still undetermined.
The bodies of the victims were discovered on Sunday on the banks of the Tachira river near the Venezuelan town of Ureña but had been missing 48 hours previous from their home town of Cucuta on the Colombian side of the border.
