Los Maniceros massacre
October 2009
Twelve members of a Colombian amateur association football team Los Maniceros (The Peanut Men) were kidnapped in Venezuela in 2009. The bodies of ten of them and a Peruvian one were discovered in several locations across the Venezuelan state of Tachira a week later. A single survivor, 19-year-old Manuel Cortez, sustained a bullet wound through his neck.
