About 100 butchered bodies were discovered beneath a major prison in Bogotá the capital of Colombia.
According to reports by CNN, prosecutors leading the investigation said that the victims whose dismembered remains were found were not only convicts but also visitors to the prison.
The report added that paramilitary leaders allegedly bribed prison guards not to report the killings.
Authorities discovered the bodies amid an ongoing case against paramilitary figures Mario Jaimes Mejía (known as El Panadero, or the Baker) and Alejandro Cárdenas Orozco (known as JJ), who have been charged with the 2000 kidnapping, rape and torture of Colombian journalist Jineth Bedoya.
Bedoya was at the time investigating violence, corruption and weapons trafficking at La Modelo, one of Colombia’s biggest prisons.
The CNN also reported that officials believe that other Colombian prisons may also be holding the remains of people who were similarly killed and dismembered.
