A Colombian necktie is a method of killing someone where the victim's throat is slashed (with a knife or other sharp object) and their tongue is pulled out through the open wound.
It is apparently popular in illegal drug-related homicides or in cases where the victim is being punished for revealing sensitive information. This may also be referred to as a Cuban Necktie.
