Death of the two men found in Plaza España, in the center of Bogotá, would be related to microtraffic

After the discovery of two bodies inside bags in Plaza España, in downtown Bogotá, the commander of the Metropolitan Police, General Eliecer Camacho, assured that these events would be related to microtrafficking.

The incident occurred last Monday in the town of Los Mártires, Bogotá. A waste picker from the area found two dead bodies in two bags, the man alerted the authorities, who arrived to carry out the survey and inspection of the site.

In addition, General Camacho mentioned that “according to the work we have in the area of intelligence, it could be a retaliation between criminal groups as a result of damage being made against the structures in this locality, in order to settle those areas of fear where they have come engaging in criminal activities, such as drug trafficking”.

For their part, some street vendors in the sector spoke out. “The way the bodies were found is due to microtraffic because it is known that around that park they sell a lot of vice. They get a plant, if they disappear it, they arrive and kill them because they look bad with the supplier,” said one salesman in dialogues with La FM.

The Metropolitan Police reported that they are offering a reward of up to $20 million leading to the whereabouts of the nursing assistant, Jorge Enrique Pérez Castro, attached to the Mental Health Unit of La Victoria Hospital, which is located in the town of San Cristóbal, south of Bogotá, had abused at least 17 patients psychiatric.

“The police have been accompanying the prosecutor's investigation, we are offering up to $20'000,000 to people who provide information to capture this criminal,” said General Eliécer Camacho, commander of the Bogotá Metropolitan Police.

According to the reports, some of the patients are minors and, in addition, she took advantage of sedation and medication to commit the abuses. The subject waited until his victims were immobilized or asleep and subjected them to different sexual acts.

According to some hospital officials, they had previously reported that this person had inappropriate and strange behavior, but the corresponding decisions had not been taken by the directors, arguing that there was a lack of staff. This situation puts directives in the eye of the hurricane as it is likely that many of the abuses could have been avoided if appropriate measures had been taken earlier.

The Secretariat for Women's Affairs reported that on 1 April it filed a complaint on the case of the 11 possible victims and articulated with the Attorney General's Office, through the local Prosecutor 420, what was necessary to generate the criminal news and speed up the investigation and work of the Judicial Police.
