STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSQUITO - The murder of Ecuadorean presidential hopeful Fernando Villavicencio has led to a frenzy of speculation from politicians across the spectrum, including from allies who were with him in the moments before he died, about why he was killed and why he was not better protected.
But there are still no clear answers as to the motive for his murder, who was really behind it, or why his security failed. In that vacuum, speculation is rife. Three police officers were among the nine people injured in the shooting. Police also safely detonated an explosive at the site. After the event, Villavicencio exited out the front of the sports center, where many people had gathered, Carrillo said, adding that he himself had stayed inside chatting to some friends. Carrillo and his friends were evacuated by two security staff out the back door when they heard the shooting.
"The important thing is to find the person who financed this killing, the intellectual author, the psychopath who doesn't want Ecuador to solve its corruption and impunity problems," Carrillo said, echoing calls by Villavicencio's widow last week. Correa, who in office regularly clashed with Villavicencio, has called the killing a false flag operation to hurt his Citizen's Revolution party.
