Relatives of six Colombians, who visited Venezuela in July for business reasons, said that they were killed in the South American country. Their bodies were found in August in the state of Barinas, reported on Wednesday the Colombian press.

"Coincidentally, all of them were merchants. They knew each other. They disappeared the same day and appeared naked and dead in Socopó (state of Barinas)," said Lina Dávila, widow of one of the victims, in an interview with the Colombian newspaper El Tiempo, in Bogotá.

The complaint made by the relatives of the six Colombians dead some months ago was known after Jairo Martínez, the Colombian consul in the state of Barinas, said that he was investigating an alleged massacre of at least five Colombian citizens, AFP reported.
