The Colombian Army begins an internal investigation to establish the reasons for a suicide committed at a military headquarters by a non-commissioned officer who recorded a video blaming a superior.
The incident occurred on a Wednesday around 1 AM in the General Manuel Valdivieso Communications Support and Sustainment Battalion, assigned to the Special Communications Brigade.
The young soldier was identified as Third Corporal Francisco J. P. O, who would have told his father about the persecution that he apparently suffered from his superior, Major Andrés L. for several months.
According to the victim's father, the alleged harassment apparently occurred because the non-commissioned officer was from the Caribbean Coast and it was something that, according to his version, the officer did not like.
Before taking his own life, Francisco wrote a handwritten letter about the situation he was suffering and which he later sent to the National Army, specifically to the Army Commander, on March 23, 2024.
In which, in the header of the complaint, the young soldier mentions the Ministry of Defense and the Command of the Military Forces.
Photos that emerged showing the soldier had laid out his military uniform on the ground, along with two pairs of boots, and then shot himself in the forehead with his service rifle.
Before that he recorded a video "I can't stand it, I'm leaving this life".
