Last Thursday, on the night of August 22, a Didi application driver was violently attacked and kidnapped by three men in Los Angeles.
The victim exclusively recounted the experience to Radio Bio Bio, stating that the attackers had expressed their intention to kill him several times.
The moments of agony lasted at least two hours, as he was approached by three armed men on Arturo Prat Street.
“At that moment you only think about your wife, your daughters and in a moment you will not be with them. So, you want that moment to pass quickly and the truth is that they take everything and leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me,” the victim said.
“I begged them not to kill me”
In his story, he said that “Thank God I was able to escape, because All the time they would say, ‘Let us kill him, no more, otherwise he will ruin us later’ and I made only one request to them that they should not kill me.Because I have little girls and one is sick. “I’m still in shock and really worried.”
The attackers threatened and insulted him.
“Don’t cry, we will kill you”
“Well, all the time they told me to keep quiet, they told me ‘old cooliao, don’t cry, if you talk we will kill you, keep quiet.’ They had me at gunpoint and while I was in the driver’s seat one of the men was choking me from the back,” he narrated.
The painful journey continued. The subjects took control of the vehicle.
“We drove to Las Industrias going north (…) and as a kind of security system, I was bringing the car with less gasoline. And they told me ‘I’m bringing the car, pelao’ and they started fighting with me to get the money, which I had deposited somewhere else, and one said ‘I have 10 lucas, let’s put it in the pump’, then they started moving (towards the service center).
“Count to 200 and run”
The persons abandoned it about 400 metres before a service station, where they refuelled.
Before that, they shot him at gunpoint and – according to his story- One said to him, “Count to 200 and run there. If you run here I will come back and kill you and your family.”
Unfortunately, the cameras installed at the pumps they used to fill up with gasoline were not operational, so the Carabineros are looking for other elements that will allow them to trace the whereabouts of the attackers.
The distressed driver only hopes to get the car back so he can continue working and support his family. A vehicle you are still paying for.
