They came for a few days off and took the shock of their lives.

That’s what happened to the pair of Canadian Milcawich Laura and Stephen Aube, who arrived in this country and were attacked while visiting the hill Mandango, in the parish of Vilcabamba, March 8. Ellos fueron sorprendidos, a eso de las 13h00, por tres sujetos que portaban un arma de fuego y machetes para amedrentar a las víctimas. They were surprised, at about 13:00, three subjects who carried a gun and machete to intimidate victims. Tras golpearlos con los puños pusieron el arma en la cabeza de Laura y pidieron a Stephen que regrese al cerro con 3.000 dólares o mataban a Laura, de 27 años, que permaneció secuestrada. After beating them with fists put the gun to the head of Laura and asked Stephen to return to the hill with $ 3,000 or killed Laura, 27, who was kidnapped.

Stephen denounced the hospital care Isidro Ayora, that despite the poor state of Laura, moved repeatedly to x-ray and CT in private clinics.
