This is the bizarre moment an alleged drug cartel lord was prepared for burial alongside his many weapons to "protect himself in the afterlife" after he was shot dead alongside his daughter.

The deceased was identified as Manuel Julian Sevillano Bustamante, aged 39, and believed to be the leader of 'Los Fatales', a criminal gang that operates in the Los Rios region of Ecuador and with links to other drug cartels in the South American country. He was shot dead on the afternoon of September 13 while stopping at a car wash with his 20-year-old daughter and a security guard in the canton of Mocache.
