The sons of former drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman killed Mexican journalist Javier Valdez because he insisted on publishing an interview with a drug trafficker, who told of the murder in court Thursday.

Damaso Lopez Nunez, known as "Licenciado" or "Lic," testified that the slain journalist -- who specialized in narcotraffic reporting -- "disobeyed the threatening orders of my compadre's children and that's why they killed him."
