Newspaper Artist Killed By Crossbow
The advocacy group Reporters Without Borders is reporting that Guatemalan newspaper graphic artist Abel Giron Morales was killed by a young man who shot a crossbow bolt into his chest before leaving in a van. The killer apparently knew Morales' routine. Because police aren't releasing the details and specifics about what Morales did for the paper are non-existent, it's hard to say if this had anything to do with the artist's work. It's still an astonishing murder of someone working at an independent newspaper and not the first death of a journalist in that country thus far in 2008.
