Chopped To Death, Police Say Not Murder
Fri, September 13, 2024
A man was chopped to death in San Ignacio last night - but police are not calling it a murder - they say the killer may have acted in self defence.

At 10:30 last night 61 year old Ubaldo Guzman was socializing with 43 year old Peter August, when they got into an altercation and Guzman allegedly attacked August with a machete.

August wrested the machete away and chopped Guzman multiple times with his own machete. Guzman was taken to the San Ignacio Community Hospital and later succumbed to his injuries. August also had minor injuries. No charges have been brought - but, again, tonight police are not calling it a murder.
