Botana described quintuple homicide as "clash between clans" and announced "restructuring" at Montevideo Police Headquarters
Colorado Party Senator Sergio Botana, known as "Negro", referred to the quintuple homicide that occurred in Montevideo as a "clash between clans", according to reporting from Subrayado.
Botana also spoke of a "restructuring" at the Montevideo Police Headquarters amid investigations into the multiple killing that shocked the city.
The incident, linked to disputes between criminal groups operating in the Villa Española area, left five people dead. A woman who was at the scene during the attack and who belongs to the Suárez family—identified as a criminal clan in the area—stated that the attack was in response to "the war" being waged against her family, according to reporting from the outlet cited.
The legislator linked the violence unleashed to the need for changes in the leadership of the capital's police force, in a context of growing public concern over security in the metropolitan area.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the exact circumstances of the attack and possible links between those killed and previous criminal activity. Three of the victims of the quintuple killing had previously been charged, according to data provided by police sources consulted by the outlet.
