Third US-trained Honduran officer found guilty in killing of environmentalist Berta Cáceres
On Monday, a Honduran court issued the eighth guilty verdict in the March 2016 killing of Berta Cáceres, a world-renowned environmental and indigenous rights activist.
David Castillo Mejía, a US-trained military intelligence officer and president of a hydroelectric firm, DESA, was found guilty as an “intellectual co-author” of the murder. The ruling was largely based on evidence from the electronic communications between Castillo and accomplices that revealed “a plot to eliminate any obstacle that interfered with DESA’s operations in the Gualcarque River,” as charged by the prosecutors.
