Poliția din Guatemala a anunțat, miercuri, că cel puțin patru deținuți au fost decapitați în timpul unei lupte în închisoare între bande rivale, informează BBC, citat de libertatea.ro. Revolta care a avut loc în închisoarea Cantel a fost declanșată de deținuții din bandele rivale Mara Salvatrucha și Barrio 18, la care s-au alăturat ulterior și reprezentații altor bande, și este legată de traficul de droguri. Din informațiile preliminare pe care le avem, ei au fost decapitați”, a spus Jorge Aguilar. Poliția suspectează că revolta a fost declanșată de un membru al uneia dintre bande, care a atacat un rival, ca un gest de represalii pentru un incident recent între cei doi. Conform statisticilor oficiale, aproape jumătate din cele 3.500 de decese violente înregistrate anual în Guatemala sunt comise de bande.
