After three days of searching for human remains in a water well in the town of Mina, the Medical Examiner today reported that the bodies of the 17 staff members and Kombo Kolombia musical group, were returned to their families.
The recovery of the bodies began last Sunday, after one of the kidnapped musicians fled captivity and went to the authorities of the State Attorney.
According to official information, the murders occurred early Friday, after attending a private event at a site known as La Carreta cellar, where there were at least 50 attendees.
Apparently the club erupted when about 10 armed criminals, fired their rifles into the air and kidnapped the musicians and part of the support team.
Yesterday ended authorities work to recover the bodies from the water hole that is 75 inches wide and 15 feet deep.
