Priests ‘hired their killers’

Colombia’s prosecutors office says two Catholic priests hired hitmen to kill the priests themselves when at least one of them was diagnosed with Aids.

Maritza Gonzalez with the prosecutor’s office said that priests Rafael Reatiga and Richard Piffano paid 15 million pesos (€6,400) for the hit.

They were found shot to death in Jan 2011 in a car in southern Bogota.
