Political Murders Continue
Edwin Canaca Jr., the son of Honduran journalist Edwin Canaca, was murdered in Tegucigalpa early this morning. His death occurred under similar circumstances as yesterday’s murder of pregnant 16-year-old Nicolle Rodriguez Cabrera, also a journalist’s daughter. Two men on a motorcycle followed him home from his job at a fast food restaurant and sprayed the taxi he was riding with bullets, also killing the driver, who was not identified. His wife was wounded in the incident, and is recovering in a Tegucigalpa hospital.
The late Canaca’s father works for the public relations department of the IPM (Instituto de Previsión Militar), the military’s pension plan.
This trend is alarming. Two journalists’ families targeted in two days in serial murders. This is very likely a vendetta, and as such I doubt it is over. I wonder who would be next, and if the authorities are able to protect them.
