The threats against members of the Ashaninka community they do not stop This was denounced by Fabián Antúnez, president of the Asháninka Central of Río Tambo, who also gave clues about the murder of Santiago Contoricón.
“The youngest daughter has recognized him, she talked with him. She told him ‘daddy, they’re looking for you’ and as he got out he shot her in the head. He is known to the family. I don’t know if this is going to be confidential, because the man is a policeman, ”she remarked.
He continued his story indicating: “Marín is not his name, it is the pseudonym that the police officers use in Vraem. I told the minister that they are threatening us leaders and to date we have not seen the reaction of the ministers”.
The assassination of the Asháninka leader Santiago Contoricón
Police do not rule out that drug traffickers are behind the brutal assassination of the Asháninka leader Santiago Contoricón. He had been threatened and a bulletproof vest was found in his home.
Santiago Contoricón had the bulletproof vest, because he was already receiving threats. Members of the Police and the Prosecutor’s Office arrived at his house, located in the native community of Puerto Ocopa, in the Río Tambo district, to collect all possible evidence and find the murderers of the former Junín councilor for Satipo.
Shortly after the crime, agents from the Mazamari, Satipo, Río Negro and Pangoa police stations carried out the siege plan, which would have forced the murderers to leave behind important evidence.
The Police found weapons and a motorcycle on the route of the Puerto Ocopa – Mazamari highway. “They have thrown the motorcycle in a farm along with the weapons. A glock with a 30 ammunition magazine and a mini usi has been found”, said the major PNP Eddy Valverde.
