A Caracas councillor died in government custody yesterday -- authorities said he killed himself jumping from a tenth floor window in the intelligence agency headquarters, the Sebin. But government opponents challenged that version and said Fernando Alban of the Primero Justicia party was murdered. Family members demanded the corpse last night outside the morgue, as rumors on social media said the government was planning to cremate Alban to hide signs of torture. It is not clear what happened between Alban's Friday detention and death yesterday.
