Venezuela confirms young man killed during anti-Maduro protests

CARACAS, Apr 7 (Reuters) Venezuelan authorities confirmed that a young man was killed yesterday during anti-government protests and vowed to investigate the fatal attack, the first since a controversy over the Supreme Court blew up last week.
Thousands of Venezuelan opponents of President Nicolas Maduro's socialist government marched yesterday to protest a decision by the administration-leaning top court to assume control of the opposition-led congress in what demonstrators said was a lurch toward dictatorship.
While the widely condemned decision was quickly overturned, the opposition has stepped up street protests against Maduro, even though such demonstrations have achieved little in the past.
