Indigenous guards in the southwest of Colombia have detained 27 soldiers following the murder of a former governor of a local reserve.

The Indigenous Regional Council of Cauca (CRIC) announced on Tuesday that former governor Alfredo Bolaños was murdered on Monday night when he arrived at his home on the Purace Reserve.

According to the indigenous organization, the detained members of the national army are possibly responsible for the murder.
The CRIC and the indigenous guard reportedly investigated the murder of Bolaños who allegedly had “no known type of problem” that may have provoked his assassination.

“The only foreigners in the community who have been near the location of the crime, are the personnel of the national army assigned to the 29th Brigade,” reported the CRIC based on claims made by the indigenous authorities of the Purace Reserve.
