The public prosecutor who led the investigation into the attack on an Ecuadorian television station has been killed in broad daylight in the crime-ridden city of Guayaquil, writes The Guardian.
Cesar Suarez, who focused on cases involving transnational organized crime in Guayas province – one of the country's most violent areas – was ambushed north of the city on Wednesday afternoon.
"Criminals, terrorists, will not hinder our commitment to Ecuadorian society. We call on the law enforcement forces to guarantee the safety of those who are performing their duty", said the country's general prosecutor, Diana Salazar, in a video posted on social networks.
Salazar announced that he was investigating the murder of prosecutor Suarez, but did not provide other details.
The Judicial Council condemned the attack in a statement and said Suarez was on his way to a court hearing when he was killed.
Ecuador has been rocked by major violence in recent days, including the attack on the "TC" television studio in Guayaquil, the hostage-taking of more than 200 prison employees, explosions in several cities and the kidnapping of police officers.
