Woman laying wreath on coffin STORYLINE: The slain Ecuadorian politician Fernando Villavicencio was honoured publicly on Friday at the capital's convention centre, where hundreds of mourners and supporters gathered. Most of his family, concerned for their safety, was absent from the event as they organised a private farewell for relatives and friends. Ecuador will hold six Colombian men for at least a month as the country probes their possible involvement in slaying the presidential candidate, whose life's work was fighting crime and corruption. Villavicencio was not a front-runner in the race. But his assassination on Wednesday and in broad daylight less than two weeks before a special presidential election shocked the country and demonstrated how surging crime will challenge Ecuador's next leader. Violence linked to gangs and cartels has recently claimed thousands of lives.
