Banana worker strangled

Investigations continue into the murder of a banana farm worker whose body was discovered Tuesday in Bladden, Toledo. A post mortem has concluded that 61-year-old Julian Zeyala Lopez was strangled. His body was found in a newly dug grave covered with dry cohune leaves by co-workers, who launched a search after Zelaya Lopez disappeared on Friday. Police are questioning an employee of the farm but so far no charges have been filed.
