The Inspector General of the Army has ordered the detention of several of the men involved in the deaths by shooting of three men in Moca jail. The three men were supposedly attempting to break out of jail during the early hours of last Monday. The District Attorney for Moca, Jacobo Marchena, told reporters from Diario Libre that the investigating commission will determine whether excessive deadly force was used in the incident. In another interview, the regional director of the Pathological Forensics Institute, Dr. Victor Garcia, told reporters that the dead men had multiple gunshot wounds, all in the chest, head and back. The investigating commission is made up of the Director of Prisons, General Jose Ignacio Sandoval Cabrera, commanding officer of the Second Brigade, General Plutarco Medina Gratereaux, and the District Attorney for Moca. The three victims were all serving long prison terms for robbery, murder and assault, according to newspaper reports.
According to local reports, the prisoners managed to break one of the bars of their cell and reached the roof of the prison where two were killed by soldiers. The third was killed as he got tangled in the barbed wire fencing. Other sources say that the guards first fired shots into the air in an attempt to halt the prisoners. None of the prisoners were armed.
