Two men were found hanging on the Duran pedestrian bridge

Early this Monday the residents of the neighboring Durán canton woke up to a disturbing scene: two men hanging from a pedestrian bridge at the entrance to the city, in the heart of the downtown area.

The discovery was made before dawn on February 14. Residents who circulated in the sector of Nicolás Lapentti Avenue gave the alert when they saw the two suspended bodies. They were handcuffed, hanging from a rope at one end of the structure.

The bodies had been hung from the feet. One of the individuals was almost touching the ground.

Police personnel went to the sector within minutes to verify the situation and elements of the Ecuadorian Transit Commission closed the vehicular passage.

Preliminary versions indicate that the men who were hanged show traces of having been tortured.

The situation has alarmed the residents of the sector, since this had only been seen in Mexico, where the drug cartels have proceeded in this way to arouse anxiety in the population.

The bodies have been transferred to the Guayaquil morgue and the Police have not yet released versions.

Just hours later, in Durán, two other men who were driving in a blue car through the Spring 2 citadel sector were murdered.
