Royal Biology Association The ban on scientists killed in Colombia

After being killed in Northern Colombia, a London -based scientist working for the Royal Association of Biology (RSB) was paid tribute.

Researchers said that the ruins of Alessandro Coatti were discovered on the skirts of Santa Marta, a port city on the Caribbean on Sunday.

Santa Marta Mayor Carlos Pinedo Cuello said that 50,000 Colombian PESO (£ 8,940) award was offered for the capture of the Italian citizen’s death.

In a statement published on Tuesday. RSB said that the murder of Mr. Coatti was “ruined”.

“He was a passionate and devoted scientist, RSB leads to animal science studies, writes numerous applications, organizes events and gives evidence in the House of Commons.” He said.

“Ale is funny, warm, clever, loved by everyone he worked with, and he will be deeply missed by everyone who works with him and working with him.

“Our thoughts and best wishes go to this terrible time to friends and family.”

Santa Marta is a gateway to the most popular touristic places of Colombia, including Tayrona National Park, Minkca and Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta Mountains.

Mr. Coatti, who took a master’s degree course in the University College London (UCL), worked as a science policy officer for RSB for eight years before he was promoted to the Senior Science Policy Officer.

He left the RSB at the end of 2024 to be volunteer in Ecuador and travel in South America.

Some of the fragmented body of the scientist found a suitcase poured into a creek.

“This crime will not be unpunished. Criminals should know that the crime has no place in Santa Marta. We will follow them until justice is brought to justice.”

Speaking with the Colombian newspaper El Tiempo, a hotel worker said that Mr. Coatti asked him to visit the village of Minca and that he was doing research on local animal species.
