HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT NOEL HE JESUS UoBLTETAJJ oALVSREZ, THE PERSON ACCUSED OF MURDERING GUATEMALAN ANTHROPOLOGISTCHANG, HAS ACTUALLY THE AUTHOR OF THE CRIME. THE CASE HASOLITICAL CAUSE CELEBRE, RESULTING IN INTENSE PRESSURE ON THE NATIONAL POLICE TO SOLVE IT. THIS PRESSURE, RATHER THAN ANY HARD EVIDENCE, IS BEHIND THE NAMING OF BETETAUSPECT. (FIELD COMMENT: THE ORDER OF THE ARREST OF BETETA HAS HEADLINED IN THE PRESS DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF JULY.)
2. BETETAEMBER OF THE GUATEMALAN ARMY ON ACTIVE DUTY WITH THE SECURITY DEPARTMENT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL GENERAL STAFF (DSEMP) ONHEN MACK WAS MURDERED. BEFORE SERVING WITH THE DSEMP, HEEMBER OF THE NATIONAL POLICE, WORKING IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION (DIC). AT THE TIKE Of THE MURDER, BETETA WAS OH MEDICAL LEAVE FROM THE DSEMP BECAUSEERIOUS INJURY TO HIS RIGHT HAND. HE WAS TREATED FOR THE INJURY FROM0 ONWARD UNTIL HIS DISCHARGE FROM THE ARMYECAUSE OF INFECTIONS AND OTHER COMPLICATIONS, HE WAS UNABLE TO RETURN TO FULL DUTY DURINC THIS TIME.

3. THERE IS NO HARD EVIDENCE POINTING TO DETETA AS THE KILLER OF MACK, AND THE NATIONAL POLICE HAVE NAMED HIMUBJECT APPARENTLY BECAUSE HEUPERFICIAL PHYSICAL RESEMBLANCE TO DESCRIPTIONS OF ONE OF THE ALLEGED KILLERS. AS BETETA IS WELL-KNOWNEMBER OF THE DSEMP WHO LEFT THE LATTER SHORTLY AFTER THE MURDER, THE NATIONAL POLICE APPARENTLY CONCLUOED HE WOULD BE ASUSPECT AS ANY OTHER. THE FACT SETETA IS HO LONGER IN GUATEMALA, OR AT LEAST CANNOT BE LOCATED, INCREASED HIS ATTRACTIVENESSUSPECT. BY NAMING HIM, THE PRESSURE ON THE POLICE HAS TEMPORARILY EASED. (SOURCE COMMENT: THERE IS NO LOVE LOST BETWEEN THE NATIONAL POLICE AND DSEMP. THE ALLEGED "POLITICAL" NATURE OF THE KILLING OF HACK WOULD NATURALLY LEAD TO THE DSEKP BEING ACCUSED OF POSSIBLE INVOLVEMENT IN THE CRIHE; THE OTHER ORGANIZATION LIKELY TO BE'ACCUSED WOULD BE THE GUATEMALAN MILITARYV;CE.

COMMENT: BETETA WAS IN NO PHYSICAL CONDITIONA PERSONNIFE AT THE TIME THE CRIME HASINFORMATION ABOUT HIS INJURIES IS NOT KNOWN TO THE POLICEIT WILL BE PRESENTED TO THEM WHEN AN OFFICIAL REQUEST IS MADE
THE DOCTORS WHO TREATED BETETA WILL BE ABLE TO TESTIFiTg THESE FACTS. IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT MACK WAS MURDERED FOR POLITICAL MOTIVES, AND SOME ORGANIZATION OF THE GUATEMALAN SECURITY FORCES WAS INVOLVED. THERE IS, HOWEVER, NO EVIDENCE OF THIS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. IT IS JUST AS POSSIBLE THAT HACK WAS MURDEREDRIME OF PASSION, OMMON STREET ROBBERY OR ASSAULT, OR BY HER COLLEAGUES ON THE POLITICAL LEFT. THE POLITICAL PRESSURE SURROUNDING THE CASE HAS GENERATED THE CHARGES AGAINST BETETA, NOW SUPPOSEDLY OUT OF THE COUNTRY, AND THE VARIOUS PLAYERS INVOLVED IN THE CASE ARE MORE INTERESTED in POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS THANERIOUS CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. THE FINAL WORD ON THE CASE AT THIS TIME IS THAT NOBODY KNOWS MHO KILLED MACK OR WHY.)
