Guatemala has one of the highest murder rates in the Western Hemisphere.

An average of 18 people are killed every day due to a combination of targeted assassinations, drug violence, and robberies.

Only a fraction of the crimes are ever investigated, and even fewer are prosecuted -- due in part to criminal organisations operating inside the government.

David Mercer has more from Guatemala City.
