Naval officer directed Paya Massacre

[NewsWhore]

The National Police have announced that Frigate Captain (Lieutenant Colonel) Ricardo Rafael Guzman Perez was the operational chief behind the killing of seven Colombians in Paya, Bani, on 4 August. Guzman Perez, who was recently captured by the police when he came to the assistance of his wife when she was found to be carrying eight kilos of cocaine in her car during a deal near the V Centennial Race Track in Santo Domingo East, is said to have planned the killing of the Colombians because they had stolen some drugs from him. According to investigations by the police and the Justice Department, Miguel Pena Figuereo, also a Frigate Captain, and lieutenants Rodriguez Montero and Chalas Jorge acted together with Guzman Perez. Also involved were Luis Lara (El Churro), Jose Luis Montas (owner of El Duro Motors) and Dennys Rodriguez Perez. According to statements from an un-named Navy officer who made a deal with the authorities, the men accused of the killings met at Jose Luis Montas' car dealership to discuss their plan. These meetings led to discussions between Jose Luis Montas, who wanted to eliminate all the Colombians, and Navy captain Guzman Perez, who objected. They finally came to an agreement and the killers left for Luis Lara's house after 9 o'clock at night to carry out their plan. They traveled in a Toyota Prado, two Mitsubishi Monteros, a Chevrolet Suburban and a red Nissan pickup truck. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Jesus Sanchez Pina, after being picked up on a judicial warrant, told investigators that the gang had hired him to watch a stretch of the highway between Bani and Azua and report any suspicious movement while the others carried out the killings. Sanchez Pina said he was at his post for two hours before word came to get out. The Police are looking for former Lieutenant Rodriguez Montero for his possible ties to the operation, and the commission continues its search for the drugs and money said to be involved in the massacre.
