They put them in a truck, put balaclavas on them, and took them down a dirt road until they changed trucks.
In a certain place, which was later identified as a Military Garrison, They brutally beat them and tortured them by asking them about an alleged kidnapped councilor.
One of them was executed with a bullet to the head and the body was taken to clean the place with chlorine. After several days of brutal torture, they left him in a vacant lot on the outskirts of the city. He arrived at his mother’s friend’s house at around 12:40 a.m. on March 3, 2009.
