GUATEMALA CITY, (Reuters) – Suspected gang members dumped four human heads in front of Guatemala’s Congress and other spots in the capital along with messages warning the government to halt its crackdown on organized crime.
A head found outside Congress yesterday had a handwritten note with it addressed to the interior minister and the head of the penitentiary system.
“Put the jails in order or these horrific acts will continue,” it said.
Another of the severed heads was left on a pedestrian walkway at a shopping center, while a third was found in front of a fire station and a fourth in a plastic bag on a highway leading into Guatemala City. A headless body was found in a car parked near Congress.
