LOS ANGELES (YBH.ME) – Roberto Micheletti’s nephew was found dead this week near the city of Choloma, Honduras. Choluma is 155 miles north of the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa.
Interim Honduran President Roberto Micheletti
According to Police, 24-year-old Enzo Micheletti was found with his hands tied behind his back and his body full of bullet holes in a wooded area outside of Choluma.
It is not clear if supporters of ousted leader Manuel Zelaya are making good on threats of violence in the five month fight over Honduras’ political future. The BBC reports today that “there is no indication that his death is connected to the coup that brought his uncle to power at the end of June.” No explanation is given for how the BBC arrived at that conclusion. It should be noted that roughly 7,000 people were killed in drug violence in the Central American nation last year.
Mr. Zelaya was ousted from office when he attempted to end run the Honduran constitution and campaign for a 2nd term in office, something that is explicitly forbidden under Honduran law. Roberto Micheletti is not on the ballot when Hondurans head to the polls in late November to select a new leader.
