“According to the investigation, the detainees allegedly had a meeting at night with Rony Valdez, alias “El Catracho” (deceased), allegedly the leader of a criminal structure dedicated to hitmen in Huehuetenango and, after an argument, they killed him along with his partner,” the PNC reported.
Three minors were rescued from the property and handed over to the corresponding authorities for their protection and safekeeping, the PNC indicated.
“It is presumed that the detainees and the deceased are members of a criminal structure, so the investigation continues,” the Police noted.
