Brazilian priest murdered in Rio

A Brazilian priest who campaigned for the families of 29 people
allegedly killed by rogue police officers has been shot dead.

Paulo Henrique Machado, 35, was shot at least five times while in his
car in the Nova Iguacu area of Rio de Janeiro.

He headed a support group for victims of the massacre in March - which
led to charges for eight police officers

The 29 men, women and children were killed when gunmen drove through
the city's poor suburbs, firing at random.

Police are investigating whether Machado's death was linked to the
massacre.
