That's so sad they were trying or already made the truth their own just for it to be gone, 😭

What a tragedy for Jehovah's people everywhere. May it be prove to be a witness to the whole area where these faithful brothers lived, that the faith and trust our brothers have, shines through this great and unthinkable crime. We will see them again, and they will continue their witness in peaceful circumstances.

It makes me wonder if they refused to cooperate with some criminal element (drugs or weapons) and they were made an example of as to what happens when you don't do "as we say".  I can only imagine how it pained Jehovah to show restraint in this matter and not interfere, it had to hurt him tremendously to let these brothers all die in this manner.  Satan is the one at work here and we can only assume from the way they died, that he got no victory whatsoever with these young worshippers of Jehovah.  They will see the reward Jehovah as in store for them!

I saw this on social media so went searching to see if it was true. Couldn’t find any reliable news reports but did find this article about it: https://www.courtmagazine.org/post/four-jehovah-s-witnesses-killed-after-apparent-abduction-in-la-ceiba-leaving-a-community-in-mournin

FWIW this is a Joseph Bonner enterprise. I understand he was brought up by his aunt as a JW when a youngster, but stopped when he returned to live with his mother. He appears to promote his own ideas and thoughts on world events - through a wide range of online 'magazines' and such like, while evidently also continuing to sometimes ride of the 'coat tails' of the Witnesses, as evidenced by the above link. Bethel did though give him an 'interview' with Jehovah’s Witnesses’ National Spokesperson Joshua David regarding the India tragedy.

Amid tears, grief and a sense of helplessness, the bodies of the four cousins – identified as Daniel Enrique Canales Antúnez (aged 16), Kelvin Magdiell Santos Canales (aged 18), Diego Yassir Canales Solís (aged 21) and Dilan Mateo Canales Solís (aged 14), the latter two being brothers – were buried yesterday in this city.   The young men were abducted by unknown assailants at approximately 5.00 pm on Friday 17 July, as they were returning from a religious service. The victims had been attending the Jehovah’s Witnesses church, a faith instilled in them by their parents from childhood. The first two bodies were found on Saturday evening on a street in the San José neighbourhood, whilst the other two were found on Sunday morning in the Canelas neighbourhood, both located in the southern part of the city of La Ceiba. Initial investigations suggest that the victims may have been killed at a different location from where their bodies were found, as no gunshots were reported in the area where the bodies were discovered...

 

...Preliminary information suggests the possible involvement of a criminal organisation known as ‘Pandilla' (Gang) 18, which operates in the area. National Police authorities have stated that the motive behind the quadruple murder remains under investigation and will be determined as the investigation into the crime progresses....

Preliminary investigations by the National Police suggest that the murder of four cousins, including two brothers, may be linked to a criminal organisation operating in the San Judas area of La Ceiba. The authorities have reported that they already have information that supports the initial lines of inquiry and are working to identify and apprehend those responsible. Police Commissioner Carlos Sosa confirmed that, according to initial investigations, the victims were abducted by members of a criminal organisation before being murdered. “The victims were abducted by a criminal organisation; we already have information that has been provided to us,” said the police chief, referring to the progress of the investigations....

 

According to information provided by their families, the four young men went missing at around 5.00 pm on Friday, whilst returning from a religious service. The cousins were members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses congregation and, from that moment onwards, their families launched an intensive search and shared their photographs on social media in the hope of obtaining information about their whereabouts. The uncertainty came to an end on Saturday night with the discovery of the bodies of two of the young men on a deserted street in the San José neighbourhood. Both were found with their hands tied and had gunshot wounds, leading the authorities to believe that they were murdered elsewhere and subsequently dumped at that location. The discovery prompted officers from the Police Investigations Directorate (DPI), the National Police and forensic staff to attend the scene, where they processed the area and began collecting evidence to shed light on the double murder....

 

Whilst relatives and neighbours continued the search for the other two missing persons, the worst-case scenario was confirmed on Sunday morning. The bodies of Daniel Canelas and Kelvin Macdiel Canelas were found in the Canelas neighbourhood, also in La Ceiba, bringing to a close the tragedy that has plunged the same family into mourning. The deaths of the four cousins have caused consternation amongst the residents of the La Libertad neighbourhood, where they were known for taking part in religious activities....
