Veteran journalist of over 40 years assassinated in Cali, Colombia
Aug 25, 2014 posted by Tim Hinchliffe

With a career in journalism that spanned over 40 years, Luis Eduardo Cardozo was killed in his home in western Colombia.

Cardozo was pronounced dead Sunday night at a Cali clinic after receiving a blow to the head that fractured his skull.

A 22-year-old man was arrested and is currently being processed for carrying out the attack, according to Colombia’s El Pais newspaper.

Cardozo’s death comes two weeks after the fatal shooting of another Colombian journalist, Carlos Cervantes, who was gunned down while picking up his son from school in the northwestern state of Antioquia.
