Colombian journalist shot dead

A Colombian community radio reporter has been shot dead. Jesús Martínez Orozco, 42, was killed by two men riding a motorcycle in Sabanalarga, in the province of Atlántico. A respected voice on music, he broadcast on culture for La Nueva radio and wrote occasionally for a newspaper, La Opinión de Sabanalarga. La Nueva's news director said: "I think that the murderers made a mistake." Martínez Orozco is the fifth journalist to be killed in Latin America this year – two each in Brazil and Colombia, and one in Honduras - according to the International Press Institute.
