Six former members of paramilitary group AUC Thursday were sentenced to sixty years imprisonment for the massacre of forty fishermen in the north of Colombia in 2000.

The six member of the AUC’s northern bloc were under the command of extradited warlord ‘Jorge 40′ when they brutally slaughtered forty fishermen in the municipality of Sitio Nuevo, Magdalena in the early morning of November 22, 2000.

Three members of Colombia’s armed forces were investigated for their alleged part in the massacre, but were acquitted. (EFE)
