1. The father of the 19 year old Isisa, killed at the airport July 5, said he saw Billy Joya shoot him
but I don't know if that was confirmed.

2. Valuable account which should be examined. So nice coup agents could slime the man's funeral.
Right-wing scum just never understand how out of place they are in ALL human gatherings. Here's an excerpt which should be highlighted:
A bomb exploded today at one of Honduras’s most combative unions, at the same time that three agents from the DNIC (National Office of Criminal Investigation) were captured by those attending the burial of the young brickmason Pedro Magdiel Muñoz Salvador.

Muñoz was killed sometime between Friday and Saturday in the most beastly manner, when he was in the town of Alauca, near the border with Nicaragua. He had gone there to join with thousands of Hondurans who went to receive President Manuel Zelaya Rosales who was going to enter Honduras on Friday. Pedro Magdiel was killed and President Zelaya returned to Nicaraguan territory when the army and the coup government refused to allow the First Lady to reunite with her husband.

Characteristic of “3-16 Batallion”

Pedro Magdiel Muñoz was horribly tortured and discarded in a deserted field at 6:30 in the morning on Saturday. He had been stabbed 42 times. Plenty of people witnessed his detention by the police. According to the demonstrators and the National Front Against the Coup D’Etat, the cruel murder, that has all the characteristics of the 1980’s dirty war when the “3-16 Battalion” operated in Honduras, is meant to terrorize the masses of people participating in the struggle against the coup regime. The struggle remains peaceful.

From the beginning of the burial of this young man who was declared a Hero of the National Struggle Against the Coup Regime, several suspicious characters were present, and the memorial service had barely begun when shouts of “ALERTA!” could be heard. Two agents were caught by surprise in the street while a third (see photo) managed to escape and call the police. The lives of the two agents were saved thanks to leaders from the National Front Against the Coup D’Etat, such as Rasel Tomé and Rafael Alegría. Ironically, Alegría was taken prisoner on Saturday by the police has he tried to go to the border, but was freed during the night.

Police Truck Set on Fire

Before Alegría and Tomé brought the two agents to the police station barely 200 meters away, the agents were disarmed and their badges and documents were registered. The police truck was set afire by indignant family members, neighbors, friends and companions who said “The can’t even leave us in peace for the burial, even though they are the ones who murdered him. We should have set fire to the murderers inside the car.” It was an expression of indignation that is a common feeling among the Honduran people right now.
They have shown tremendous patience with these lower beings. Here's one of those people who showed up to intimidate:
