A priest was found murdered in his church in a small town west of San Salvador, a police source said Saturday. The Catholic cleric, identified as Cecilio Perez, was found by parishioners in the San Jose La Majada church in Juayua, an agent of El Salvador's National Civil Police told AFP, on condition of anonymity.
The officer said an investigation was in its earliest stages and it was not yet known who might have killed the priest. The Catholic Church in El Salvador has so far issued no statement on the killing.
