A confrontation with bullets and machetes between two families from the North Caribbean left two people dead, after a violent confrontation as part of a dispute over a property in the Carmen Puyús region, in the jurisdiction of Waslala.
The victims were identified as Noel Suazo Ochoa and his cousin Alexander Suazo, 26 and 29 years old, respectively. According to police investigations, the Suazo family and the Quinteros have an old conflict over property. Both claim to be the owners.
In the brawl, several members of both families were injured and were taken to a care center. So far, the police have not released the names of the injured.
three dead
With the deaths of the cousins, there are already three people killed in this conflict, reported local media, who report that as a result of the lawsuit between these families, another relative was killed earlier.
According to preliminary data, the Suazo would have murdered the brother of Ariel Quintero, who supposedly led the group that committed this new and brutal attack. In addition, the Police reported that this time the discussions began because one of the families entered the disputed property.
So far, it is unknown if the authorities have detained members of this family to continue with the investigations and later charge them in court.

The sociologist also views with deep concern the number of weapons in the hands of men, who are committing crimes against women in this region of the country, which she considered a “danger zone.”
The North Caribbean zone of Nicaragua has also been shaken in recent years by attacks by settlers, who invade communities and murder community members in order to seize the land.
