Honduras's police disciplinary authority concluded its investigation into the May 2026 death of five officers in Corinto, Omoa, and recommended dismissing three active police members whose cases will be referred to prosecutors.

Anti-extortion authorities arrested four men accused of belonging to the Los Argueta criminal organization in Omoa, Cortés, including one suspected of involvement in an attack that killed five police officers near Corinto.

Honduras's national human-rights commission documented 65 police officers murdered in 2012, averaging one death every five days, with 85% of cases remaining unsolved and most victims killed while off duty.
