Man Burned Alive For Killing 2 Children

OUTRAGED residents of an isolated village in northern
Guatemala have burned alive a man who allegedly was drunk
when he killed two children at a local school, authorities say.
When residents of the indigenous town of Tac Tic in Alta Verapaz
learned that Julio Saquil, 35, apparently hacked the children to death
with a machete, they doused him with gasoline and set him alight.
Vigilante justice is common in Guatemala, where the ethnic Maya-
language majority often distrust the justice system and the Spanish
speaking government in the capital.
