A method of execution in which the victim’s throat is slashed vertically, then his tongue is pulled out through the gaping wound toward the sternum, after which he is allowed to die of asphyxiation or blood loss, whichever is prior

Not only was murder frequently used, but the methods were often quite sadistic, such as the carte de corbata, the notorious “Colombian necktie” in which the victim’s throat is cut longitudinally and the tongue is pulled through to hang like a tie.
