Deputy Freddy Superlano, is known to have staged the massacre in SocopĂł, Barinas, during the guarimbas in 2017. That day what really happened was that armed groups ransacked shops and attacked police and the Bolivarian National Guard headquarters. Currently, he is hospitalized and recovering from the poisoning.
