An Ecuador cartel boss was buried with dozens of gun in an attempt to ‘protect himself in the afterlife.’
Manuel Julian Sevillano Bustamante, aged 39, was believed to be the leader of ‘Los Fatales’, and was buried with a huge cache of weapons.
His underlings stuffed his coffin with machine guns, shotguns and even a revolver so that he would be ‘armed to the teeth in the afterlife and could defend himself’.
They also gave him a hat to wear so he could look his best at the Gates of St. Peter.
It is understood that the leader of ‘Los Fatales’, which operates in the Los Rios region of Ecuador, died after being shot at a carwash in Mocache, Ecuador, with his 20-year-old daughter and a security guard in tow.
The drug trafficker’s daughter was also shot and later died in hospital.
Bustamante was caught out after his assassins realized he regularly frequented one carwash.
No one has claimed responsibility for the death of Bustamante and his daughter.
Authorities suspect that the attack could be the result of clashes between rival gangs in the lucrative world of drug trafficking.
According to local media, Los Fatales are in a war against the Los Cornejos cartel for control of the drug trade in the provinces of Manabi and Los Rios.
