The death of a UN peace observer appears to be linked to the leaking of evidence that triggered the resignation of Colombias former defense minister, according to newspaper El Espectador.
The body of peace observer Mario Paciolla from Italy was found in his home on July 15, five days before he hoped to end his volunteer job as a peace observer in the southern town of San Vicente del Caguan.
Friends and family immediately disputed the local polices claim that Paciolla had committed suicide as the Italian had told his mother he was in trouble the evening before a was found dead.
Colombia isnt safe for me anymore, the UN volunteer wrote a few days before his death, according to newspaper El Espectador.
