LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- A drug cartel lord has been buried alongside his many weapons to “protect himself in the afterlife” after he was shot dead alongside his daughter.
Videos making rounds on the internet, show the burial casket of the deceased, Manuel Julian Sevillano Bustamante, aged 39, being adorned with several weapons.
Bustamante was believed to be the leader of ‘Los Fatales’, a criminal gang that operates in the Los Rios region of Ecuador and has links to other drug cartels in South America.

He was reportedly shot dead on 13 September while stopping at a car wash with his 20-year-old daughter and a security guard in Mocache.
The drug trafficker’s daughter, who was also shot, was later confirmed dead at a hospital.
According to sources, Bustamante frequented the same car wash, which helped facilitate the planning of the assassination.
Inside the casket, several men placed pistols, shotguns, rifles, and all kinds of other weaponry so that he would be “armed to the teeth in the afterlife and could defend himself.”
As a finishing touch, somebody added a hat to the deceased before closing the casket.
