GUATEMALA CITY ( Eight Arrested for Massacre of 11 Indians - See story )

GUATEMALA CITY – Guatemalan security forces arrested eight suspected gang members on Tuesday in connection with the Sept. 8 massacre of 11 Indians in a rural community north of the capital.

Those under arrest, including two women and a minor, belong to the “Crazy Rich” cell of the fearsome Mara 18 gang, an Interior Ministry spokesman told Efe.

The Crazy Rich group is known to operate in San Jose Nacahuil, where the killings took place.

Police and prosecutors “carried out 20 raids, which led to the capture of the suspects,” the spokesman said.

“Four more arrests have yet to be made, which we believe will be done in the next few hours,” he said.

At least 11 people were killed and more than a dozen others, including three children, were wounded when gunmen opened fire on a liquor store in San Jose Nacahuil during the wee hours of Sept. 8.

The motive of the massacre was probably the store owner’s refusal to pay protection money, prosecutor Arturo Aguilar told reporters.

In one of the houses raided, authorities found a rifle and a handgun, which, according to investigators, had been used in the massacre.

LA PAZ ( Motorcycle Thieves burned to death by a Mob of Citizens ) Mob Justice

LA PAZ – A mob burned to death two men accused of trying to steal a motorcycle and attacking its owner near the central Bolivian town of Entre Rios, police said Thursday.

The lynchings occurred on Wednesday in the central province of Cochabamba, the regional police commander, Col. Antonio Arias, told the press.

“The bodies will be difficult to recognize. They are charred and personnel from the Special Anti-Crime Force have already transported them to the morgue in Entre Rios,” said Arias, according to the Web site of the Cochabamba daily Opinion.

The police chief said the lynchings were regrettable and that a “pact of silence” exists among the local population regarding what occurred, but he added that an investigation will be conducted to find those responsible for taking the law into their own hands.

The rural portion of Cochabamba is a zone where outraged townspeople have killed a number of accused criminals in the name of “indigenous and community justice,” although the authorities have said repeatedly that that judicial system does not include committing murder. EFE

Mexico ( Mexico to Charge Driver in Deadly Accident at Monster Truck Show - 86 hurt )

MEXICO CITY – The Mexican judiciary will charge the driver of a “monster truck” that plowed into the stands at an air show, killing eight people and leaving 86 others injured, with reckless manslaughter.

The accident occurred Saturday during the three-day Festival Extremo AeroShow in the northern city of Chihuahua.

The driver, identified as Francisco Velazquez Samaniego, was to be informed of the charges during a special hearing at the hospital where he is being treated, a spokesman for the Chihuahua state Attorney General’s Office, Carlos Gonzalez, said.

Although at the time of the incident, the driver’s breath smelled of alcohol, when breathalyzer tests were performed on him at the hospital they came back negative, Gonzalez told Radio Formula.

The driver of the vehicle, which has tires 1.5 meters (almost five feet) tall, was going over a pile of junked automobiles when he lost control and hit the stands.

Velazquez said that when he was driving over the junked cars he bounced around inside the vehicle and hit his head, which momentarily caused him to become disoriented, Gonzalez said.

“There was no fence, and if there had been he would have hit it,” added Gonzalez, who said that the investigation to assign responsibility in the tragedy will extend to the company that organized the event and “all the people who had anything to do” with the incident.

Of the 86 people injured, 21 remain hospitalized.

The Festival Extremo AeroShow features planes, balloons, motorcycle races and monster trucks

Mexico ( Mexico Arrests 13 Federal Cops for Kidnapping, Murder ) Hmm

 

MEXICO CITY – Thirteen of 18 people arrested in an operation targeting a criminal gang in the Mexican resort city of Acapulco are active-duty federal police, government security spokesman Eduardo Sanchez said Tuesday.

The 18 suspects, thought to be involved in seven homicides and four kidnappings, were arrested during the period Oct. 2-4 thanks to a tip from the public, the spokesman told a press conference in Mexico City.

Sanchez said that the band, apparently headed by Luis Miguel Gonzalez, “operated exclusively in Acapulco,” but he refused to give additional details so as not to compromise the ongoing investigation.

He emphasized that currently an “exhaustive investigation” is under way on all the members of the band to determine if more people are involved, and he urged the public to continue reporting the whereabouts of any alleged criminals.

“Under no circumstances are we going to tolerate impunity” or acts of corruption “on the part of any public servant,” Sanchez said.

He added that so far during the administration of Enrique Peña Nieto, who took office on Dec. 1, 2012, “81 federal police who were surprised committing some illicit act” have been arrested.

The National Statistics and Geography Institute calculates, on the basis of a public survey, that in 2012 there were 105,682 kidnappings in Mexico.

When asked about that figure, Sanchez admitted that with crimes like kidnapping and extortion there is an “enormous dark number” because citizens who are subjected to them frequently do not report them to the authorities out of fear of reprisals
