THE WORST AND TERRIBLE METHODS OF EXECUTION: COLOMBIAN NECKTIE

   Methods of Execution: Colombian Necktie

A Colombian necktie is a method of execution where the victim’s throat is slashed (with a knife or other sharp object) and their tongue is pulled out through the open wound. 

It was a frequent method of killing during the Colombian history period called La Violencia that started in 1948 after the leader Jorge Eliecer Gaitan was murdered. It was performed on enemies as psychological warfare meant to scare and intimidate those who later encountered the body. 

Others have tried to ascribe the method to their nationality dubbing the Colombian necktie as the Italian necktie, Sicilian necktie, Cuban necktie, Slovakian necktie,and less frequently, Mexican necktie.

Spanning over five decades, the Colombian Civil War has raged on with a bloody history of violent clashes, assassinations, guerrilla warfare and human rights violations. The Liberal and Conservative political parties with their internecine feuds have constantly had civilians caught in the crossfire.

La Violencia was a particularly violent era spanning from the late 1940’s to 1950’s, with over 200,000 dead and echoes of 3,000 killed a year. A majority of the population has not known an era of peace their entire lives. 

Fighting for territory in the countryside, Peasant militias, paramilitary and military used guerrilla and psychological warfare as a grotesque tool, The Colombian Necktie being one of them. Sometimes even done post mortem, it was less for the victim than it was to send a haunting message to the surviving witnesses of the carnage. 

Slicing a deep cut across the neck, the tongue was then pulled through the gash allowing it to dangle down the chest. When done to the living, the victim would die from bloodloss, asphyxiation or drowning in their own blood
