A commander of the FARC was assassinated Monday, endangering criminal investigations about the demobilized guerrilla group’s criminal activities in a key drug trafficking corridor.

According to locals, Jesus Adan Mazo, a.k.a. “Molina,” was the FARC’s militia chief of the 18th Front.

The victim was murdered around 1AM inside a home at only meters of the FARC’s demobilization camp in Ituango, a municipality in the north of the Antioquia province.

Because the victim was a militia member, rather than a guerrilla, he had registered his demobilization, but is not allowed to stay inside the demobilization camp in the hamlet of Santa Lucia, the highly secured hamlet where hundreds of guerrillas members are held.
