Escazú Murder Possibly
Motivated By Fight
Between Friends Over
Woman
Two bloody knives at the
crime scene is the major
pieces of evidence that
the homicide
investigators of the
Organismo de
Investigación Judicial (OIJ)
have to go on in the
death of three people in
a Trejos Montealegre
condominium in Escazú
Sunday afternoon.
Investigators are
theorizing that the
death was possibly a
fight between friends
over a woman, who like
gladiators, went at each
other and the woman,
with kitchen knives.
At 5:10pm Sunday,
Kenneth Rodríguez
Campos, 27 years of age,
his friend and
co-worker, Alvin Arévalo,
30, and a Colombian
woman, Viviana Zoraida
Hernández Acuña, 26
years of age, had a
heated discussion.
Screams from the luxury
condo alerted police who
found the woman dead
from wounds to her
thorax and the two men
seriously wounded, who
later died in hospital.
"It appears that an
argument began by the
two men, possibly over
the woman", explained a
judicial source to the
press.
Investigators believe
that the woman may have
tried to intervene the
knife fight and receive
the mortal wound, since
she was the only one to
die at the scene.
Rodríguez died moments
after arriving at the
Hospital México, while
Arévalo, died later
Sunday night at the
Hospital San Juan de
Díos. Both men were
found naked, according
to judicial sources,
while the woman was
fully clothed.
Investigators are also
looking into the
possibility that a
fourth person may have
been in the condo at the
time or somehow involved
in the case.
The mother of the young
woman, Patricia Acuña
Medina, would not
comment on the incident,
telling the press that
she was busy making
funeral arrangements and
to be left alone.
Viviana, who lived in La
Aurora de Heredia, had
lived in Costa Rica for
some eight years and had
obtained her
nationalization
Witnesses told
authorities that Viviana
arrived at the condo
with Arévalo around
10:00am where Rodríguez
lived and that all was
calm during the day,
when a little after
5:00pm they heard
screams from unit number
39, when the condominium
security guards called
police, who found a pool
of blood in the garage.
Forensic experts began
coming the scene of the
crime for evidence to
help out in their
investigation. |
