The resurgence in violence has put a spotlight on the ruling Democratic Center Party, which opposes the peace deal with left-wing militants.

A string of murders in various parts of Colombia this month has raised concerns that the South American country is once again on a slow descent into violence.

In what are being termed as massacres, more than 23 people, some of them minors, have been killed in mob-like hits in separate attacks.

The violent cycle started on August 11 when police found the bodies of five teenagers bearing signs of torture and gunshot wounds in the southwestern city of Cali.
