After the armed attack that killed Villavicencio, the six suspects were arrested on Wednesday in their homes in two Quito neighbourhoods, where weapons and three grenades were found, Xinhua news agency reported.
The office specified that according to the autopsy protocol, Villavicencio “was shot from long distance, while the ballistic report determined that the casings coincide with one of the rifles found in the raids”.
In addition, a fingerprint was found on a motorcycle abandoned by the defendants, it said, adding that the prosecution’s investigation will remain open for 30 days.
