Berta Cáceres assassination: ex-head of dam company found guilty

Roberto David Castillo, former Honduran army intelligence officer, found to be co-collaborator in ordering murder

A US-trained former Honduran army intelligence officer who was the president of an internationally-financed hydroelectric company has been found guilty over the assassination of the indigenous environmentalist Berta Caceres.

Caceres, winner of the Goldman prize for environmental defenders, was shot dead two days before her 45th birthday by hired hitmen on 2 March 2016 after years of threats linked to her opposition of the 22-megawatt Agua Zarca dam.
