The people of Honduras have been attacked relentlessly ever since the coup attempt, or the coup, against President Manuel Zelaya in 2009.
Berta was staying not in her regular home, because of fears for her life, she was staying in another house.

Somebody broke in, apparently multiple people who are here to be identified broke in and murdered her.
