Pummeled to death in San Narciso Bar Fight

In the Corozal district, a man was beaten to death in San Narciso Village last night. Police say that around 10 pm 39-year-old Nolberto Martinez was at a local hangout in the village when he got into an argument with another villager. Witnesses tell police it started as a fistfight but ended fatally when Martinez fell and slammed his head on the concrete floor.

His attacker used that opportunity to eagerly pounce on Martinez. By the time it was over, Martinez was unconscious. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the Northern Regional Hospital. His 29-year-old attacker is detained pending charges.
