QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — At least 13 inmates were killed in a riot at an Ecuadorian prison, officials said Monday, more than two months after a clash between rival gangs left 44 dead in the same lockup.
The penitentiary system said on its Twitter account the riot took place in the Bellavista prison in Santo Domingo, 70 kilometers (44 miles) south-west of Quito, Ecuador’s capital. Two inmates were injured.
Authorities said the situation inside the prison was under control.
On May 9, the authorities reported another riot inside the Bellavista prison with a death toll of 44 inmates. After the clash, the authorities said that they found firearms, explosives and other weapons.
The penitentiary system in Ecuador has seen several fights between gangs, and the government in the past has blamed confrontations on drug gangs linked to Mexican cartels.

video shows the moment an army couple was beheaded and mutilated while heading to Nigeria’s Imo state for their traditional wedding.
Nigeria’s military has linked the beheading of the army couple to the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob), a separatist group in Nigeria that aims to achieve the independence of Biafra, a state which seceded from Nigeria prior to the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970) and was later rejoined into Nigeria after its defeat by the Nigerian military.
The couple was beheaded and killed over the weekend while heading to Nigeria’s Imo state for their traditional wedding. The gruesome video shows the male victim laying lifeless on the ground with a huge gash on his neck.
Two more lifeless bodies can be seen behind the man in a shallow grave. The woman, still alive, is naked, according to the footage. A man then lays her on her back before decapitating her as well. Following the beheading, the man then proceeds to slice off her genitalia.
Army spokesman Onyema Nwachukwu condemned the killings as “gruesome, barbaric and most despicable”. He further accused the armed wing of the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob) for the murders.“The Nigerian army will ensure the perpetrators of this dastardly act unleashed on its personnel do not go unpunished,” Nwachukwu said in a statement.
