HONDURAN police have made their first arrest over the murder of indigenous people’s campaigner Berta Caceres, they said on Thursday night.
The co-founder of the Council of Indigenous Peoples of Honduras (COPIHN) was killed at about 1am on Thursday morning at her home in La Esperanza in the western province of Intibuca.
At least two gunmen broke into her home and shot her four times. Fellow campaigner Gustavo Castro, a Mexican who is director of campaign group Otros Mundos Chiapas, was wounded in the attack.
