Last Wednesday Chito, the main suspect, was located during a police operation carried out in a house in the Police District, in the 2000 Hectare area.
The arrest occurred after the testimony of the mother and a sister of the second fatality, as well as a friend of the defendant to whom the latter allegedly confessed to having hit someone for family reasons.

In the possession of the defendant, the police seized clothing with blood stains. He continues to be deprived of liberty at the disposal of Investigating Court Three.
