Malacatán, San Marcos, Guatemala - On Wednesday, Elmer Aroldo Celada Galdámez, 20, who was arrested on December 5, for the murder and dismemberment of pro-soccer player Carlos Mercedes Vásquez on November 27 has escaped from prison, according to the National Civil Police. At least 20 armed men believed to be members of the Mexican Zetas launched a daring attack on the prison around 2:45 a.m. and managed to flee the area along with Galdámez.
Police say, prison official Carlos Alberto Fuentes and Otto Barrientos Sánchez, 39, a passer-by were killed. Sánchez 10-year-old daughter Débora Barrientos Maldonado was injured. The following federal agents Usvín Amílcar Miranda Godínez, Lelvin Israel Ramírez Cifuentes and Edwin Freddy Godínez Orozco, including Sergio John Sosa López, a member of the military were reported injured while trying to repell the attack at the prison.
Galdámez kidnapped Vásquez on November 27, and later killed and dismembered his body, which was then dumped in five plastic bags under a bridge. A note was placed on a bag saying, "died for messing with another man's woman."
