More Guatemalan victims in Mexico accident buried

The Guatemalan village of El Boquerón buried three more members of its community on Friday who were among the 56 migrants killed in a smuggling accident in southern Mexico last month. Six people from the small hamlet in Joyabaj municipality in Guatemala's western mountains died when a people smugglers' semi-trailer truck jammed with migrants overturned on a highway on December 9.

After Pedro Ximun's funeral his cousin Tomas Canil, also the community's preacher, said Ximun left because of the lack of work in the village and he "wanted to succeed". Soon after, family and friends of Alicia Huarcas and Wilson Ramos were taking their coffins to the town's cemetery. "We want to cry, but the tears don't come," Ramos's sister Karina says.
