A hitman for notorious cartel boss Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman kept a sound-proofed “murder room” for executions, it was revealed on Jan. 7.

“He took me once to a house, where the floor was just white, tiled,” cartel informant Edgar Galvan said of Antonio “Jaguar” Marrufo, the executioner, according to the New York Post. “That’s where he killed people.”
