Guatemala mudslide: 264 dead, 40 still missing
Santa Catarina Pinula, Oct 11: Forty people are still missing following last week's deadly mudslides outside Guatemala City that killed 264 people, according to the latest tolls, a spokesman for search and rescue workers said on Sunday.
"At this time we have 264 bodies and are continuing to search for 40 people who are still missing," Julio Sanchez, spokesman for volunteer firefighters and other rescue workers at the site of the disaster, told AFP.
