A balance sheet revised upwards
Tuesday’s clashes, the deadliest this year, took place in the vast Guayas prison complex in Guayaquil, a port city and commercial hub in the southwest of the country.
“More than 100 detainees were killed and 52 injured” during the violence, the prison services (SNAI) announced on Wednesday evening. A previous report, given by the police commander of Guayaquil, General Fausto Buenano, who led the operations to regain control of the buildings, reported 30 prisoners killed in these clashes, six of whom were beheaded.
According to General Buenano, the victims bore “impacts from firearm projectiles and shrapnel from grenades”.
Ecuadorian prisons have for months been the scene of recurrent violence between criminal groups linked to drug trafficking.
