The bodies of 11 men and women who were assassinated by paramilitaries in the 1990s were discovered in northern Colombia, local media reported on Tuesday.
The remains were found on the grounds of the estate La 35, located in the village of El Tomate in the municipality of San Pedro de Uraba, where they had been murdered, according to Bogotas Caracol Radio.
The estate was owned previously by Carlos Castaño, the infamous leader of the former paramilitary group the United Self Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC).
The remains were found in three separate graves; one contained six bodies, the second had four, and the last was found solo. The bodies are thought to be farmers from the northern region of Uraba, and remain unidentified, Caracol Radio reported.
