“The body of a Swiss woman was found Sunday on a beach on Guatemala’s Pacific coast bearing knife wounds, emergency authorities said. Fire Department spokesperson Cecilia Chacaj told Efe that Erika Verena Jenni, 57, was found on the Monterrico beach in Santa Rosa province. Guatemala – along with Honduras and El Salvador – is one of the countries making up Central America’s so-called Northern Triangle, a zone considered to be one of the most violent areas in the world. A total of 694 women were murdered in Guatemala in 2014, three more than the year before, according to government authorities.”
