In the community of the municipality of Sayaxché, Petén, a young man was killed by his father-in-law with a hammer blow to the head.
The murderous father-in-law arrived home after consuming alcoholic beverages and became enraged when he found his daughter's boyfriend repairing a wooden shelf, as his girlfriend had asked him to.
The angry man, who had previously expressed rejection towards the young man, told him that he did not want him to fix anything because he could do it himself. At that moment he asked him for the hammer and the young man proceeded to hand him the tool.
The young man turned around and the father-in-law hit him hard in the skull with the hammer and he died in the health center due to the severity of the wound.
The aggressor was arrested by the neighbors, who, outraged by what had happened, tied him up and handed him over to the authorities.
Now the man must face justice.
