According to an article on cnn.com, a rancher accused of hiring men to kill an American nun in the Amazon rainforest about 6 months ago finally surrendered to police, and declared his innocence. The killing occured because of a dispute between the rancher and the nun - the nun wanted a portion of the rainforest to "be declared a sustainable development project for poor settlers" while the rancher wanted to develop the stretch of rainforest and log it.
