Recent events in Colombia have once again drawn attention to the alarming rates of violent crime plaguing the country. In the city of Medellin, the body of a woman was found wrapped in sheets and plastic bags, blindfolded, her mouth gagged and dumped in an abyss in the comuna 13 neighborhood. Sadly, this case adds to a series of disturbing crimes, including hitmen in Bogota, that have shocked the nation.
The identity of the victim has not yet been revealed, but authorities are working tirelessly to identify her and determine the circumstances surrounding her death. With only a tattoo of a revolver on her forearm as a possible clue, investigators are reviewing missing persons reports.
This tragic incident has caused shock and outrage throughout Medellín, as well as the rest of the country. It serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for tougher policing measures to combat the rampant violence plaguing Colombia. Of particular concern is the increase in femicides, which has become a pressing issue and a clear indicator of the widespread problem of gender-based violence in the country.
