As a country that had almost 10,000 homicides reported last year, Venezuela is quickly becoming one of the most dangerous countries. From what I have read, a lot of these are gang related. This article stuck out to me because it is about three young boys who were brothers that were kidnapped at the airport by who men dressed up as policeman who feigned a "police checkpoint." The kidnappers demanded 4. 5 million and when they did not receive it, killed the boys and left them to be found. This caused a protest because people believed it showcased the government's lack of willingness to crack down on police corruption and brutal crime in general. They do have five suspects so hopefully the killers will have to face what they did and some semblance of some justice can be served...
Here's the article.
