Murder at the Adjacency Zone in Toledo, One Woman Detained

Here’s an update to a story from the Adjacency Zone Police have charged Evangelina Rosalia Ack with murder following the stabbing of Justo Martinez in Jalacte over the weekend. According to police, Ack and her common-law husband were at an establishment drinking but got into a fight. Martinez reportedly attempted to part the couple and that’s when the encounter turned deadly. It is alleged that Ack broke a bottle and stabbed Martinez in the neck.  Despite an effort to rush him to a medical facility in neighboring Santa Cruz, on the Guatemalan side of the border, Martinez would later succumb to the injury.  Police say that the suspect fled the scene in a bus but was later apprehended and taken into custody.
