A teacher in Morazán, Yoro, accused of physically and verbally assaulting a 15-year-old student will defend herself outside prison while her case proceeds; a court rejected the prosecutor's request for pretrial detention after her lawyer cited her community ties and clean record.

Mario Macedo, his sister Carmen Lobo, and Lobo's daughter Yaritza Suárez were shot dead at their home in rural Yoro in an attack police believe was retaliation for property damage months earlier; multiple gunmen on motorcycles carried out the killings.
