Description
Friends and relatives visit the coffins of Miguel Angel Lopez Rojas, his wife Zulay Duran Pacheco, and their nine-month-old baby who were allegedly murdered by armed groups operating in the Catatumbo region, Colombia.
On January 16, violent clashes between the National Liberation Army (ELN) and Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) dissidents took place in the region.
Thirty people were killed as a result of the violence between the rival leftwing groups near Colombia's border with Venezuela, authorities say, prompting the government to suspend peace talks with the ELN.
Lopez Rojas was a well-known entrepreneur of funeral services in the area. The family's funeral took place in Cucuta, Colombia. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
