Lawyer investigating journalist's murder is shot dead

A lawyer who was investigating the murder of a Peruvian journalist has been killed.

District attorney Luis Sánchez Colona was shot dead near his home in Nuevo Chimbote in northern Peru on 16 April.

He was investigating last year's killing of Pedro Flores Silva, who was shot after exposing local political corruption on his TV programme.

Last week, Sánchez was supposed to present a report on whether a local mayor was responsible for masterminding the killing of Flores.
