At least 20
people, including women and children, were massacred by a comando in the town
of Linda Vista, in the municipality of San Miguel Totolapan in Guerrero.
Gunmen arrived
in the early morning in the town located in the Tierra Caliente region and shot
at people, said Leopoldo Soberanis, president of the Human Rights Alliance of
Guerrero.
“The town began
to lay siege from five o’clock by criminal groups and have made a massacre,
they say there’s more than 20 dead in the community and many wounded, children,
entirely, and couldn’t be removed from the area,” said Soberanis to the
newspaper Reforma.
“The government
has acted irresponsibly, without responding to what’s appropriate to
authorities, and all day today I’ve insisted by phone with the governor and
haven’t obtained a response,” reproached the human rights defender.
Media reports
indicate that the attack was carried out by 50 armed men at 5:00 hours and
ended at about 14:30 hours on Friday.
Currently no authority has appeared at the sight since it’s difficult to
access.
Sources on
security and state government told the press that it’s not confirmed that a
massacre took place, and indicated that they only have a report on the death of
one person.
In this
community, they have a popular assembly planned for next Sunday with
inhabitants of other locations to form a self-defense group in the region.
The massacre of
women and children in San Miguel Totolapan came on the same day in which Governor
Ángel Aguirre Rivero and the National Security Commission informed that local
police would be replaced by federal and state agents in Chilpancingo.
According to
data from the National System of Public Security (SNSP), the state body was the
most violent in 2013 with 2,087 homicides recorded; as well as being the state
with the most kidnappings, with 207 cases recorded, only after the state of
Tamaulipas. As for extortions, it
remained in the middle with 174 reports.
On January 30th,
Aguirre Rivero said: “I will not wait for the Federation to come and resolve the
problems of my state. We must take on
our share: the problems with crime are of the Federation and the municipalities
must do their part and the state government shall assist.”
However, the
state capital and the surrounding area has been the scene of murders,
kidnappings, extortion, and malicious injuries.
The formation of self-defense groups has also been reported.
Eduardo Neri and Teloloapan
In the
municipality of Eduardo Neri, a confrontation between civilians left four
people dead. The incident occurred in
the town of Mescala around four in the morning, according to police reports.
It was reported
that two vehicles were left at a 100 meters from the bridge, a truck with two
bodies and a car with two charred bodies.
Different
caliber shell casings were found in the area.
The area was cordoned off by ministerial police and the bodies were
recovered by personnel from the Medical Examiner (Semefo) of Chilpancingo where
they remain as unknown.
In Teloloapan,
three bodies were found in the county seat, according to press reports.
