Guatemala Police Purge Demanded after Deputies Murder
Guatemalan policemen participation in the murder of three Salvadorian deputies and their driver renewed the demands in favour of purging that body and the creation of the Commission against Impunity (CICIG).

"Not another moment can be lost," admitted Guatemalan President Oscar Berger and noted how urgent it is to begin cleaning up the security forces.

Four policemen, among them the chief of the Unit against Organized Crime and three police investigators, were arrested, charged of being the authors of the crime that has moved the region.

The murders took place last Monday when legislators Eduardo Dáubuisson, William Pichinte and Jose Ramon Gonzalez, and the chauffeur, Gerardo Ramirez were detained in this capital and taken to a farm to be killed and burnt later.

The capture of four members of the Civil National police as alleged suspects proved that organized crime continues rooted in the government security institutions, said Deputy Pablo Monsanto.

The original mistake was to recycle agents from the disappeared National Police to be members of the Civil National Police in three months.

President Berger recognized drug trafficking has established a north-south corridor that is causing many problems to the nation.

Menwhile Vice President Eduardo Stein admitted "how difficult is to fight the organized Crime when is deeply entrenched in the public institution itself," and reiterated the need to count with a CICIG entity.

That commission integrated by international experts at the UN service will help to solve high impact crimes like the one that happened to the three deputies and the Salvadorian chauffeur.
