The Huila Police Department reported that last night, in the area of the viaduct connecting the municipalities of Garzón and El Agrado, a couple lost their lives in an armed attack.

The deceased were identified as Ovier Martínez Vargas, 51 years old, and Yineth Sotto Sánchez, 40 years old, both from the Caquetá department.

Of the four victims, two managed to escape the scene.
