Venezuela is, along with Honduras, the nation with the highest murder rate in the world. According
to estimates by non-governmental organizations-to which the official
authorities branded as exaggerated, in 2013 24.000 murders were
committed in the country. Caracas, the capital, is the most violent country in all its geography.
But
even by the standards of a city in which the lower part homicide
unofficially became a weekly routine, the last month has lived a
nightmare of terror. dismembered bodies and hanged people are with alarming frequency on a public street. The
findings takes little diffuse through social networks, leaving an
ominous trail of terror and sowing, while the question of whether it is a
new collective debasement or just an advanced stage of the daily
hardships suffered by caraqueños .
The
summer season of horror acquired trend levels on July 22, when a
newsboy found next to his kiosk in the neighborhood of Bello Monte,
southeast of Caracas, three sacks containing the severed limbs of Simon
Perdomo, a worker of 22 years. Just days before, they were
found in the central San Martin Avenue dismembered remains of José Maia,
a trader of Portuguese origin who had been kidnapped.
Not far from there, in a dumpster urbanization El Silencio, on August 10 he appeared the trunk of a woman. After
a few hours, the judicial police found the limbs and determined the
identity of the victim, Yesenia Mujica, 20, a student from marketing to

motorists came upon the corpses of suspected suicide hanging from trees
in the La Julia entrance of El Avila National Park, northeast of
Caracas, and at a bend in gardening together a highway.
The
streak forced the Minister of Interior and Justice, General Miguel
Rodriguez Torres, referring Monday renewed viciousness of the crimes in
Venezuela. Amid a press conference to showcase the
achievements of his country Segura plan, including citing declines of
21% in the numbers of homicides and 52% in secret over the previous
year, the minister blamed "imports" the modalities of homicide "coming
virtually copied from other latitudes." He cited cases of
killings in which the murderers applied the so-called Colombian necktie,
a method of torture in which the victim is slaughtered and cut her
tongue is removed.
According to local press, only in Caracas have reported 14 cases of dismemberment so far this year. The
profusion of such crimes paid versions that an individual psychopath
could be in action, or the settling of scores between criminal gangs
have reached a new level of sophistication.
By
this hypothesis responds sociologist Miguel Angel Campos: "It is part
of a customs post under which Venezuelans were good, part of a village
of caring people to bad habits that come from outside." Campos,
who lives in Maracaibo, Venezuela's second metropolis, warns that the
escalation in the brutality of crime due to a dynamic already installed
in the country. According to the academician
of the University of Zulia, to explain why a Venezuelan offender before
shooting and killing a twenty kills now, must see to society. "In
the last 20 years this has been disenrolled from the corporate pact,
formally, it is linked to the Constitution and the laws, but in the
organic background had more real anchors, as respect to property or the
