Kidnapped politician found dead near soccer field in Honduras as police say "personal revenge" was likely motive

Armed men killed a Honduran mayor standing for reelection in the violence-wracked Central American nation, although the murder was not believed to be politically motivated, police said Thursday.

Francisco Martinez, mayor of the northwestern municipality of San Isidro, was taken by gunmen from a motel in the city of Siguatepeque on Wednesday night and shot outside, a police statement said, adding that Martinez was "allegedly drinking alcohol" when he was abducted. 

His bullet-ridden body was found near a soccer field, according to the police.
