    Subject: [roatan] Child murdered at West End




    I just got back from West End and found out that one little local boys who sold "empanadas" and "baleadas" snacks was murdered in the vicinity of the Pura Vida Restaurant and Hotel.

    Apparently this must have happened last night. Since I got the story third hand, it appears the little boy was robbed of the few Lemps that he had earned for his family. Apparently he was strangled to death. Sad, very sad.

    The authorities supposedly have started their investigations but the different merchants who I know in the area don't believe anyone will be taken into custody and charged. Those same merchants also think that this incident will be swept under the carpet, they're disgusted with the way things are going.

    I, for one, am very saddened that something like this could happen to someone so young. Crime, as I've said many times before has to be addressed and quickly. Let's just see what happens now. By the way, are the Canatuhr meetings all dead and gone? What happened to all the furor after the recent robberies which happened during broad daylight?

    Like I said before, what is it going to take before the authorities start playing hardball and tackling the growing crime issue, some more deaths?
