The recent murder in east Colombia of an indigenous man who after his death was dressed to look like a member of the FARC, was a "military error" according to the army, Noticias Uno reported Tuesday.Nearly a month after a soldier shot a man in Arauca -- on the border with Venezuela -- who was identified as fallen guerrilla financial leader alias "Humberto Peroza Wampiare," the army has admitted that the murder and subsequent identification was a mistake, and that the man was actually an indigenous leader from the La Voragine indigenous community. "He was from the community, it was a military error," stated army officials.
