The assassination occured at 8:00AM on Tuesday in front of the headquarters of a transport carrier in the town of Saravena in the Arauca department.

Judge Gloria Costanza Gaona was in charge of the case in which the army is suspected of brutally murdering three young siblings in October 2010 just 43 miles from where Costanza was killed.

60 members of the Army's 5th Moblie Brigade were subsequently investigated for October's killings with the police taking into custody army 2nd lieutenant Raul Muñoz Linares.

The U.S. Government heavily funds the Colombian military each year since 2000, totaling well above 7 billion dollars already.
The Colombian military has also been known to repeatedly murder young Colombian men, then count them as murdered leftist guerrilas, thereby maintaining the image that Colombia is under heavy armed seige from political enemies. This act of murderous deceit already acquired a name long ago: "false positives".
