The owner of a plot of land in southwest Colombia that was designated to host a concentration camp for demobilizing and disarming FARC guerrillas has been assassinated, her family told media Wednesday.
The victim, the 72-year-old Cecilia Coicue from Corinto, Cauca, was found by her daughter stabbed to death. Hours before, the victim had left her farm to find out why the water had been cut off.
The victim was an active member of several labor and land rights organizations.
The homicide is a major blow for the peace process even though there is no evidence indicating Coicue’s murder is related to her role as host of one of six FARC demobilization camps.
