Man suffers seizure and dies after getting whacked in the head with shovel in land dispute. Honduras, 6 April 2024

A young man lost his life on Saturday after receiving a severe blow to the head during a land dispute in the mountain of Azacualpa, east of Francisco Morazán.

The man was identified as Kevin Garay, 23 years old, who died in the Hospital Escuela as a result of the strong blow he received from a supposedly purged policeman who, according to preliminary data, was upset with the measurement of the land.

A video recorded by the victim's partner shows how the attacker -with a shovel in his hand- hit him in the head.

The young man reportedly had a brain seizure after the blow, so his relatives quickly took him to the health care center. However, the authorities announced his death today in the afternoon.

Agents of the National Police were present at the scene to investigate the incident and apprehend the person responsible.

The detainee - identified as Fabricio Zerón (32 years old), former officer of the National Police - has already been presented before the corresponding prosecutor's office to face charges of murder against Kevin Garay.

UMEP-4 continues its diligent and dedicated work to guarantee the security of the population in the areas under its responsibility.

Source one dating April 6: "Un joven de 23 años de edad perdió la vida al recibir un palazo en la cabeza por un pleito de tierras.

Una familia se encontraba midiendo un terreno en la montaña de Azacualpa, al oriente de Francisco Morazán y registró el momento del cobarde ataque.

El ahora fallecido identificado como Kevin Garay, había recibido un fuerte golpe de un policía depurado que se molestó al ver la medición del terreno. El atacante volvió con su pala y por la espalda golpeó al joven dejándolo completamente inerte.

Tras el horrible golpe, el joven de inmediato comenzó a convulsionar y no recobró más el conocimiento. Lo peor es que el muchacho ni siquiera participó en discusión alguna, pues según el audio del video, quienes estaban enfrascadas en un cruce de señalamientos eran dos mujeres, una de cada bando, la víctima solo ayuda agachado a sostener una cinta para proceder a la demarcación, siendo allí en esa posición que recibió el golpe por la espalda.

El joven había convulsionado tras el fuerte golpe en la cabeza, rápidamente fue llevado al Hospital Escuela, pero lamentablemente falleció"

Source two dating April 7, the most recent: "violento casi asesina a un joven al golpearlo con una pala en la cabeza. En la montaña de Zacualpan, fm, un hombre identificado como Fabricio Zerón, estuvo cerca de matar a un joven de 23 años al propinarle un palazo en la cabeza por una disputa de tierras"

So the summary of all this is: the victim is apparently still alive, they were measuring the plot and shovel man got all butthurt, prompting him to assault the guy ( he was holding a chalkline, to add salt to injury in all this matter). This is all very recent.

Source one dating from April 6: "A 23-year-old man lost his life when he was hit in the head by a land lawsuit.

A family was measuring a plot of land on the mountain of Azacualpa, east of Francisco Morazán and recorded the moment of the cowardly attack.

The now deceased, identified as Kevin Garay, had been hit by a clean-up policeman who was upset to see the measurement of the terrain. The attacker came back with his shovel and hit the young man completely inert.

After the horrible blow, the young man immediately began to convulse and no longer regained consciousness. The worst thing is that the boy did not even participate in any discussion, because according to the audio of the video, those who were engaged in a crossing of signs were two women, one from each side, the victim only helps to hold a tape to proceed to the demarcation, being there in that position that received the blow from the back.

The young man had convulsed after the severe blow to the head, was quickly taken to the Hospital Escuela, but unfortunately he passed away."
