Referee José Arnoldo Amaya died after being battered by players and supporters during an amateur match he refereed at the Toluca stadium in San Salvador, according to the Salvadoran Soccer Federation.
The referee was beaten and died at the Zacamil Hospital as a result of his injuries. An internal bleeding was the final diagnosis.
“The Salvadoran Soccer Federation condemns, laments, and rejects the physical assault directed towards referee José Arnoldo Amaya during a match he was directing at the Toluca de San Salvador field, which resulted in a deadly effect on his humanity,” the ES stated in a statement.
Salvadoran soccer condemned the murder and those who took part in it. The referee, who had 20 years of experience and had refereed in colonial, collegiate, and amateur league events, was murdered.
“We, as a Federation, condemn all acts of violence that are perpetrated in the country’s various sports scenarios. The FESFUT Executive Committee shares the anguish that his loving family is experiencing “.
When José Arnoldo chose to send a player off for a double yellow card, he was attacked. It began as an argument, but the referee was eventually battered to the point of internal bleeding.
A single person has been detained.
The National Civil Police of El Salvador announced that Juan Manuel Cruz Lorenzana, the referee’s killer, had been apprehended in San Salvador’s Miramonte neighbourhood.
“This criminal is a member of these gang circles, terrorist organisations that promote death. Within the Mao gang, this individual has a triggerman profile. Mao is a mirror of the atrocities perpetrated against our Salvadoran people by these terrorist organisations “, said Gustavo Villatoro, Minister of Security.
