Gang violence kills 46 in Honduran women's prison amid government crackdown

At least 46 women were killed in a riot at a women's prison in Honduras carried out by gang members with the guards' knowledge.
The massacre was carried out by inmates belonging to the Barrio 18 street gang who set fire to rivals' cells, trapping many victims inside.
The horrific conditions of Honduras' prison system have been condemned, and the president has responded by putting the military in control of the prisons.
The scale of the disaster has led to calls for urgent action to address the corruption and mismanagement that allowed it to happen.
Families of victims face a painful wait to identify loved ones, with some bodies so badly burned that DNA testing is required.
