Prison clash leaves one dead

One prisoner died and five were injured in a clash involving some 50 inmates in Guatemala, state prison authorities said. Special forces of the Pavon Prison, located just outside the country’s capital, intervened to regain control of the institution that houses some 4,000 inmates, prison system spokesman Rudy Esquivel told journalists. He said the cause of the clash was under investigation, adding that victims showed signs of blows and wounds “presumably” caused by knives.
