A slain Ecuadorian cartel boss known as “El Fatal” was buried with hundreds of pistols, shotguns and rifles in his coffin so he could be “armed to the teeth in the afterlife.”
Julian Sevillano, the 39-year-old notorious leader of “Los Fatales”, was with his 20-year-old daughter getting a regular car wash in Moroche last Wednesday when they were suddenly ambushed by armed men, according to La Nacion.
Both were killed in a hail of more than a dozen shootings blamed on rival gang members, the outlet said.

Sevillano’s relatives refused to leave the bodies for local police, however, instead taking them away for a mass funeral the next day, El Universo said.
The now-viral images show Sevillano in an open coffin as people rush to fill it with high-caliber weapons – reportedly so he’ll be “armed to the teeth in the afterlife and able to defend himself.”
Ecuadorian police and soldiers are on guard amid rumors of possible reprisals and continued violence.

Locals said it appeared the rival gang had tracked Sevillano’s movements in the run-up to his murder and knew he would be at the car wash that morning.
“It seems they have been following his movements, Julián always comes to wash the car in the morning, his enemies take advantage of that,” a resident of Mocache who chose not to give his name told El Universo.
Sevillano and his daughter were both killed in the ambush.
Other locals told the outlet that the killer rode a motorcycle but walked to the car wash so as not to “raise suspicion.”
Local authorities believe Sevillano may have been killed to settle a score for a previous crime, as the murdered man had a criminal record for murder.
Authorities believe the murder may have been planned in retaliation for Sevillano’s previous crimes. CEN
He was arrested in 2005 for killing the vice mayor of Mocache Bolívar Cordero Candelariz, 57, and his son, Yogar Cordero Molina, 35, but was released just months later.
