Gun, but not forgotten: Ecuador cartel crook is buried with an arsenal of machine guns so he can 'protect himself in the afterlife'

• Manuel Julian Sevillano Bustamante was shot dead at a carwash in Ecuador
• His underlings placed shotguns, rifles and a revolver in his coffin
• They said they did this so he'd be 'armed to the teeth' in the afterlife 

An Ecuador cartel boss was buried with dozens of gun in an attempt to 'protect himself in the afterlife.'

Manuel Julian Sevillano Bustamante, aged 39, the leader of 'Los Fatales', was buried with a huge cache of weapons. 

His underlings stuffed his coffin with machine guns, shotguns and even a revolver so that he would be 'armed to the teeth in the afterlife and could defend himself'. 

They also gave him a hat to wear so he could look his best at the Gates of St. Peter. 

The leader of 'Los Fatales', which operates in the Los Rios region of Ecuador, died after being shot at a carwash in Mocache, Ecuador, with his 20-year-old daughter and a security guard in tow.

His daughter was also shot and later died in hospital.

Bustamante was caught out after his assassins realised he regularly frequented one carwash. 

The attack was the result of clashes between rival gangs in the lucrative world of drug trafficking.

Los Fatales are in a war against the Los Cornejos cartel for control of the drug trade in the provinces of Manabi and Los Rios.

Presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio, an outspoken critic of organised crime and corruption was shot in broad daylight last month. 

His death followed the fatal July shooting of the city of Manta’s mayor, Agustín Intriago, 38, who had recently been re-elected for a term that began in May.

And just a week after Villavicencio died, local political organiser Pedro Briones died in a fatal shooting.

The country saw 4,600 violent deaths in 2022, double the previous year, and it is set to break the record again with 3,568 violent deaths in the first half of 2023.
