The victim has been identified as Eduardo Gonzalez Mora. No information was released about the children or their abduction, according to the BBC.
A threatening note was found next to the head, signed by a gang calling themselves "Los Rojos" (Red Ones). Officials also arrested thirteen suspected members of the gang, which specializes in theft, kidnapping and drug trafficking, the BBC reported.
