Charges have been dropped against ex-Police major Frederick Medina Abud. The decision was made by Peravia judge Karen Castillo, who decided that there was not enough evidence to keep him in jail. Medina was one of the people accused in relation to the murder of seven men in a drug-related massacre in Paya in August 2008. However, Medina is not out of the woods yet. He will still be charged with possessing an illegal firearm, which was found during investigations and will be sent back to jail on an unrelated murder charge regarding an illegal energy connection.
Hoy reports that Nicaraguan Orin Clinton, the only survivor of the massacre, had identified Medina as the person who kidnapped the seven Paya victims and instructed the murderers to shoot them. But now, as reported in El Caribe, Orin Clinton Gomez is saying that he made a mistake. Medina was dishonorably discharged because of extortion charges and is also being mentioned in connection with the murder of Jose Manuel Herran Mancebo.
Peravia senator Wilton Guerrero has said that the government investigation has yet to identify the heads of the operation. He has said several times there is complicity with higher-ups in government.
