Editorial OUR VIEW Murder of a priest shakes Guatemala
The murder of Bishop Juan Gerardi Conedra in Guatemala City shocks a nation still scarred by civil war. Police say there is no motive or suspect yet, while Gerardi’s human rights work and the December 1996 peace accords weigh on investigators. A large funeral crowd reflected public grief and demand for swift justice. 150 officers are on the case as authorities pursue leads from the garage scene, amid fears of destabilizing the fragile peace.
