Global Voices Online » El Salvador: Blogging for Justice in a Little Girl’s Murder

Bloggers in El Salvador have taken up the cause of justice in the nine year old murder case of Katya Miranda. This young girl was murdered in 1999 in a crime of shocking depravity.

The facts of the case are recounted in a video interview of Katya’s mother and available on YouTube. Katya’s mother left her two daughters at the home of her paternal grandfather along El Salvador’s coast with a promise to pick them up in the morning. Yet when morning came, nine-year-old Katya was dead — raped, beaten and murdered. Despite the presence of members of her father’s family and their employees at the home, nobody claimed to have seen or heard anything. The father, grandfather and other male relatives are high-ranking officials in El Salvador’s military and the National Civilian Police.”*
