Armed with rifles, machetes and their faces covered with balaclavas and scarves, this is how they describe the bullies, the people kidnapped yesterday morning, on the area of Las Londras, in the Guarayos province.
Still unidentified by the authorities and without any other reference to this irregular armed group only the descriptions of the victims and a video of a few seconds are the only trace that is had of them.
“Those who ambushed us were between 25 and 35 years old on average. Except for a few people who looked older despite having their faces covered, some with ski masks and others with long scarves that covered their heads and faces, ”says one of the witnesses.
According to the victims’ accounts, They used rifles and machetes and it was between three or four who gave the orders, which sometimes caused confusion between them and moments of nervousness, especially in the first hours when there was a lot of tension.
“Those who commanded had camouflaged jackets and military-type boots, But most of them wore long-sleeved shirts without any specific identification, ”explains one of the journalists who were in the procession, adding that the apparent leaders were the most aggressive.
Between three and four in the afternoon on Thursday, October 28, when they were taken to the camp that they had in a shed, was that several women appeared, with their faces uncovered and who were in charge of preparing the food, which they later gave them, while some of the captors complained to the men of the press about the publications that insisted that they were lies.
