Several detonations heard citizens who were in the vicinity of the prison.
On the morning of this Wednesday 10 new incidents were registered inside the Litoral Penitentiary, located on the road to Daule.
Faced with the alert, several police units mobilized towards the prison complex.
Citizens who were in the vicinity of the place heard at least eight detonations, apparently of firearms, coming from inside the place. According to preliminary data, the events took place in the area of pavilions 2 and 3.
For now, the body in charge of the prison system does not issue an official statement.
In the past days, several similar events have been replicated. As a result of these events, between last weekend and Monday the 8th, two inmates died, according to Bolívar Garzon, head of the SNAI. on a visit to the prison.
On the other hand, in the last few hours a new video has been viralized on social networks of an inmate who is put headfirst into a tank full of water. This procedure would be applied as an extortion measure.
Until now, the authorities do not confirm if the images were captured in that jail. (I)
