  Rodrigo
  Rosenberg, a middle-aged Guatemalan lawyer, has become an unlikely
  YouTube star in macabre circumstances. In a video recorded last Friday
  at the offices of a friend, he sits behind a desk and talks at the
  camera for 15 minutes.

  "If you are hearing this message," Rosenberg begins, "unfortunately,
  it is because I have been murdered by the president's private
  secretary, Gustavo Alejos, and his partner, Gregorio Valdez, with the
  approval of Álvaro Colom and Sandra de Colom [Guatemala's president and
  first lady]."
