A journalist has been stabbed to death in northern Nicaragua, police in the country said today.
Police spokesman Omar Flores told The Associated Press that Danilo Torres Rodriguez was found dead yesterday in his home in Esteli, 65 miles north of Managua, the capital.
Police believe the 54-year-old’s killers stole his vehicle and then abandoned it in another part of the city, but they have no motive or suspects in the case.
Mr Torres was the first political secretary of the Sandinista Front in Esteli after the group drove out former dictator Anastasio Somoza in 1979 and took control of Nicaragua.
He worked for Radio Liberacion and wrote cultural essays and poetry for various newspapers.
