The mother of the children rescued from the rainforest in southern Colombia is said to be alive for a few days after the plane crash more than a month ago. “My eldest daughter told me that her mother had four days to live,” the father said on Sunday.
And the father added: “Before she died, she could have said go.” His children had not told him much more about the time in the jungle.
“It’s not easy to ask her. You haven’t eaten well for 40 days, you haven’t slept well. I hope the children recover well, then they can tell themselves what happened.”
Father reports threats
After rescuing his four children from the rainforest in southern Colombia, the siblings’ father reported death threats from a splinter group of the FARC guerrilla organization. “The front of Carolina Ramírez is looking for me to kill. There are threats against me, I am a target for them,” Manuel Ranoque said in the capital Bogota on Sunday.
“They have economic interests, and if you don’t do what they say, you’re an enemy of them.” The Carolina Ramirez front is a splinter group of the rebel group FARC, which does not support the peace agreement signed in 2016. . She is involved in drug trafficking and is said to have killed four minors in the south of the country.
Children found alive after 40 days in rainforest
Search teams found the children after 40 days in the rainforest in the south of the country on Friday. They crashed on May 1 with a Cessna 206 propeller plane in the department of Caquetá. The children’s mother, the pilot and an indigenous leader were killed in the accident.
It was not until May 16 that members of the Colombian army’s special forces reached the wreckage of the plane and found the bodies of the three adults there. According to a preliminary report from the aviation authority, the light aircraft collided with the treetops and then fell vertically to the ground. It is believed that the impact with the trees slowed the impact enough that there was little damage to the rear of the cabin, and the children survived.
