National Police Chief Major General Rafael Guillermo Guzman Fermin has told Listin Diario that homicides were down in the first quarter of the year. From January to March 2009 there were 472 murders, compared to 587 for the same period in 2008, for a 20% decline. He says PN statistics indicate that most of the deaths occurred due to fights (117 in 2009, 152 in 2008), legal actions taken by the Police (82 in 2009, 113 in 2008), robberies and assaults (88 in 2009, 95 in 2008), crimes of passion (17 in 2009 and 29 in 2008), and drug-related deaths (8 in 2009, 12 in 2008).
