SANTIAGO, Oct 23, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – A four-year-old child was killed
during the latest round of protests in Chile, raising the death toll from
five days of social unrest to 18, a top Chilean security official said
Wednesday.
The child and an adult man were killed Tuesday when a drunk driver rammed

third person died from injuries sustained in a beating by police, according
to the victim’s family.
