Residents of Primavera 2 ask the Municipality of Durán to earn the security fee they are charged and to place cameras to help the Police.
The head in a jute bag and the rest of the body wrapped in sheets. This is how the Police found the body of a man, until now unidentified, less than a kilometer away in two sectors of Durán.
It was 07:00 when several people who were going to work noticed that near the bus stop in the Cazadores neighborhood, 300 meters from the Municipality of Durán, blood was coming out of a jute bag. The alert reached the Police by ECU911.
The finding confirmed the suspicion. Next to a post, at the foot of a staircase that adjoins one of the 26 climbs that has the Las Cabras hill, one of the most conflictive sectors of Durán, the sack that gave off blood had a human head inside.
Colonel Jorge Hadathy, chief of the Durán District, said that they immediately carried out a sweep and almost a kilometer later, wrapped in sheets next to garbage bags in a Primavera 2 parking lot, was the rest of the body.
“Based on the investigation, we are working to determine who has acted in this violent way. As relevant data, we could say that there is a person reported as missing in the Suburbio Battalion (in the southwest of Guayaquil) and it could be presumed that it is the same person, “said the officer.
It was learned that the man, who had sharps wounds, “wore rally clothes,” according to the residents of Primavera 2, while the Police tried to avoid the curious by surrounding the body with their vehicles.
A family arrived at the scene seeking to identify the body, but it had already been taken to the morgue.
“Here in Spring 2 we live in anxiety, crime, drug trafficking, pamphlets that circulate threatening merchants, car theft, it is the daily bread,” complains a resident who prefers not to be identified for fear of reprisals , but launches a call for attention to the Municipality.
“Since the previous administration, Mrs. Arce, and even the current mayor (Dalton Narváez) we have been charged a fee on the premises supposedly for security, supposedly to put cameras that help the Police, and see for yourself, here in There is no Spring and this is a zone ”, the claim continues. “Wave your hand, mayor!”
In fact, the Police tracked through cameras installed by the residents themselves the track of those who had left the dismembered body, which the perpetrators moved this morning, passing it in front of the Municipality itself.
This medium has requested repeated interviews with Mayor Narváez this year through his Communication Department, for different reasons, but it has been delegated to other officials. He has not granted any.
For now, the Police do not have elements to link this crime with the discovery of 3 rifles, 1 pistol, 10 chargers and more than 500 cartridges inside a vehicle in the Abel Gilbert citadel, where the Municipality is located, after a police chase Friday night.
The weapons were left inside the vehicle whose occupants fled.
Regarding the leaflets that have circulated in Spring 2, in which merchants are threatened to pay a fee, the Police reported that the gang to which they were allegedly attributed has denied it through another statement. “But both are pasquines, we cannot attest to their veracity, but the Prosecutor’s Office has already opened a preliminary investigation to find those responsible for the circulation of these pamphlets.” (I)
