According to a Honduran police officer, at least 41 women were slain during a riot at a women’s jail northwest of the country’s capital; the majority of them were burned to death.
The disturbance started, according to Yuri Mora, a spokesman for Honduras’ national police investigative office, inside the women’s jail in Tamara, a hamlet located approximately 30 miles northwest of Tegucigalpa.
Despite allegations of prisoners being shot at the jail, Mora said that most fatalities were burned. Other officials said that the violence may have been brought on by gang control or corruption inside the institution.
