Colombian Vice President Angelino Garzon announced that the government is examining the possibility of getting the family of murdered displaced leader Ana Fabricia Cordoba out of the country for safety reasons.

"I find them very affected from an emotional and mental point of view, they have killed the father, the mother and the two brothers, they expressed the desire to leave the country," said the vice president, after meeting with the remaining children of the assassinated social leader and with her cousin, the ex-Senator Piedad Cordoba, Caracol Radio reported Tuesday.

Garzon said that Colombia is looking for ties with another government that would allow the rest of the family to leave the country as quickly as possible, following the administration's promise not to allow impunity for those responsible for the murder, and to provide any necessary security measures to ensure the safety of the remaining family members.

Meanwhile, the director of Citizen Security of the Colombian police, Orlando Paez Baron, said that authorities have rejected the possibility of police involvement in the murder, following investigation, while simultaneously saying that they have discovered those responsible and will soon release the information.
