A recently surfaced video has captured an incredibly unconventional burial ceremony for Manuel Julian Sevillano Bustamante, a notorious figure believed to be the leader of the criminal gang known as ‘Los Fatales’ in the Los Rios region of Ecuador.
Bustamante, aged 39, met a tragic end when he was fatally shot, along with his 20-year-old daughter, while they were at a car wash in Mocache on the afternoon of September 13.

The circumstances surrounding his death were undoubtedly shocking, and his funeral preparations have only added to the intrigue.
It appears that Bustamante had a regular routine of visiting the same car wash, which may have inadvertently contributed to the planning and execution of the assassination.
What sets his funeral apart is the remarkable and somewhat bizarre display of firearms that accompanied him to the afterlife. The video captured the coffin adorned with an array of weapons, including pistols, shotguns, rifles, and various other armaments.
The belief behind this unusual arrangement was that Bustamante should be “armed to the teeth in the afterlife” and capable of defending himself.
As a final touch to this unorthodox ceremony, someone placed a hat atop the deceased before the casket was sealed.
This entire spectacle serves as a striking testament to the notoriety and power that figures like Bustamante can amass in the criminal underworld, even in death.
It also reflects the unique cultural and superstitious beliefs that can be found within certain communities, where individuals seek to carry their worldly possessions and protection into the next realm, no matter how unconventional it may appear to outsiders.
