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.
