Four suspects in the brutal attack on Chilean gay man Daniel Zamudio
have been arrested, Chilean news outlets are reporting. Zamudio, 24,
was burned, had his ear sliced, and was branded with a Swastika by his
attackers.
Writes Michael Lavers at EDGE:
Prosecutors maintain that Raúl Alfonso López Fuentes, 25, Alejandro
Axel Angulo Tapia, 26, Patricio Iván Ahumada Garay, 25, and Fabián
Alexis Mora Mora, 19, brutally attacked Daniel Zamudio, 24, in Parque
San Borja on March 6. The suspects allegedly struck Zamudio with
bottles, rocks and other blunt objects before they cut off part of his
ear, carved swastikas into his chest and burned other parts of his
body with cigarettes.
El Movimiento de Integración y Liberación Homosexual (Movilh) and
various Chilean newspapers have reported that López, Angulo, Ahumada
and Mora called themselves "nazis del Centro" or "the Downtown Nazis."
Movilh spokesperson Rolando Jiménez told El Mercurio after police
arrested the four suspects that they confessed to the crime. "We are
happy," said Jiménez. "When the authorities told me (about the
arrests) I immediately called Daniel's family."
Photos of the suspects under arrest can be seen here.
Zamudio has reportedly regained consciousness, according to the LGBT
rights group MOVILH.
