Authorities have discovered the remains of 15 victims of apparent torture and summary execution buried at least a year ago along Venezuela’s border with Colombia, officials said Tuesday.

A regional police chief was detained in connection with the discovery on suspicion that he ordered the killings because of the victims’ suspected links with Colombian guerrillas, the officials said.
