Colombia #1 in Murders per capita
Sad but true, Colombia holds the top spot for national murders per capita (as of 2003), and not by a small amount either, over three times more than the number 5 spot (Russia) and twelve times as many as in the USA (number 24 on the list). Click around the nationmaster.com web site, it is full of all kinds of fascinating info.

What is the source of your information?
The correct spelling of the country is Colombia with an ‘o’ instead of a ‘u’.
