San Salvador, Feb 9 (EFE). – Lawyer Lucrecia Landaverde denounced Friday that the body of Alejandro Muyshondt, former national security adviser to the government of Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele, who died in state custody, showed signs of torture.

“There is a sea of doubt about how this person died. The body has several bruises, several signs that show he was tortured in some way,” the lawyer told journalists.

Patricia Alvarez, Muyshondt’s mother, who was also present, explained that she learned of her son’s death through rumors on social media the day before and had to personally confirm his death with the hospital.

Landaverde denounced the condition in which the family received the body, saying: “You can see the blows, you can see the bruises, the body has holes and it seems that he had a lobotomy.”
