On the night of September 5, 2005, two paramilitaries from the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia hijacked Luciano Romero’s taxi as he
drove through his home city of Valledupar. They took him to a nearby
farm, where they tortured then murdered him. His body was found the next
day, dumped behind an army garrison, with a handkerchief stuffed in his
mouth and 50 stab wounds; one more victim in Colombia’s dirty war

However, seven years on, and while Romero may only be one of approximately 3,000 victims of that war, his murder is now taking center

employers – Nestle.
