Comalcalco, Tabasco: A Kidnapper Is Questioned Before Permanently Leaving

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat

In the corner of a dingy room a shoeless man is sitting on the floor with his hands tied behind his back. His head has been covered with a hood to obstruct all vision. 

Two assassins are standing next to him, one on each side. The captive male is accused of being a kidnapper for a local antagonistic armed criminal cell. 

Before the doomed man leaves this world he will narrate in front of the camera the illicit activities that brought him to the final moments of his life. 

A twenty four inch machete is quietly resting on his right shoulder. This will be the tool used by his captors to turn him into a human puzzle off camera once this video ends. 

Video translation is as follows:

Interrogator: What’s your bosses name you son of a bitch?

Captive: His name is David aka El Cachorros or El Jaliscos. 

Interrogator: And just why were you captured you fuck?

Captive: Because I was collecting fees. 

Interrogator: What else do you sons of bitches do for a living?

Captive: We extort, charge fee collections, sale drugs, and kidnap throughout the ranches around the municipality of Comalcalco.

Interrogator: How exactly do you guys operate, who provides you protection?

Captive: We’re given protection by the director of public security. 

Interrogator: What’s that son of a bitches name?

Captive: Eddy Herrera Córdova. He’s in charge of every operation that happens here. Because of this we can move easily in this area…
