Respected Ecuadorian newspaper Ecuavisa said the horror k!lling happened in the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve in Ecuador’s Amazon region, which is a popular eco-tourism area. It is the second largest reserve of the South American country’s 56 national parks and protected areas, and is located in the Putamayo Canton in Sucumbios Province. Ecuadorian newspaper Extra reported officers who arrested him decided not to intervene when a baying mob forced their way into the police station ahead of his transfer out of the area. According to the newspaper, they stood back in order to avoid being attacked themselves and to avoid additional damage to state property. It said police reinforcements had taken time to reach the area because of its remoteness and difficult access. A local TV station, reporting on the two de@ths, said: “In the early hours of Sunday, April 20, in the parish of Playas de Cuyabeno, at the closure of an event that took place for the anniversary of the Kichwa community, an incident occurred where as a result two people d!ed. “Those two people were a community member from the area and another person of British nationality who died due to the severity of his burns.” The Ecuadorian man k!lled has been named locally as Rodrigo Chavez. A third man was reportedly arrested over the Briton’s k!lling. Ecuadorian newspaper El Universo reported that police were yet to issue a statement, as they were still gathering information on the case.
