A young man lost his life this Saturday after receiving a severe blow to the head during a land dispute in the Azacualpa mountain, east of Francisco Morazán.

The man was identified as Kevin Garay, 23 years old, who died at the Teaching Hospital as a result of the strong blow he received from an alleged purged police officer who, according to preliminary data, he was upset with the measurement of the land.

In a video recorded by the victim's partner, it is observed how the attacker - with a shovel in his hand - hit him on the head.

The young man would have had a cerebral seizure after the blow, so his family members quickly took him to the healthcare center. However, the authorities announced his death today in the afternoon.

National Police agents were present at the scene to investigate the incident and capture the person responsible.

The detainee - identified as Fabricio Zerón (32 years old), former National Police officer - has already been presented to the corresponding prosecutor's office to face murder charges against Kevin Garay.
