Brain behind the killing of environmental activist caught

Two years after the murder of the prominent Honduran environmentalist Berta Cáceres, the police arrested the presumptive leader behind this case.

Meanwhile, nine people are stuck on suspicion of involvement in the murder. Cáceres committed to the rights of the Lenca Indians and fought against the construction of the controversial hydro power plant Agua Zarca by the company Desa.

For her work as coordinator of the council for indigenous peoples in Honduras, she received the renowned Goldman environmental prize.
