According to official media, the Honduran is known by the alias “El Negro” and is accused of also taking the life of a farmer a few weeks ago.
The Jinotega Police have not yet provided information on the crime.
The observatory of the organization Catholics for the Right to Decide (CDD) registers 53 femicides until November 2. Most of the victims were between 18 and 34 years old, while more than 100 women have survived femicide attempts.
