Forensic experts unload a body removed from a women's prison, at the medical morgue in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, June 21, 2023
AUTHORITIES in Honduras today began to hand over to relatives the hacked, burned corpses of 46 women killed in the worst riot at a women’s prison in recent memory.
Some of the bodies were so badly burned that they will need genetic testing or dental studies to enable an identification to be made, said Honduras’s national police investigation agency spokesman Yuri Mora.
The picture that began to emerge of Tuesday’s violence at the women’s prison in Tamara, Honduras was one of a carefully planned massacre of 46 rival gang members by inmates belonging to the notorious Barrio 18 street gang.
