French man killed by houseguests
July 3rd, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com) A French citizen was killed yesterday by individuals he had apparently invited to his home. The deceased is 60-year-old Gérard Bigolet.
The murder occurred yesterday around 1 a.m. at the man’s house, located in Santa Marta de Montes de Oca, in San José.
According to reports by the Judicial Investigation Organization (OIJ), the man’s body was discovered by the son of a friend, also a foreign national, who was spending a few days at the home.
The young man told authorities that upon arriving at the home, the security guard told him that there were visitors at the home. When the young man went to the house, he found at least four individuals.
“Arriving (to the home), the man observed several subjects inside, who, noticing his presence, boarded a vehicle that was outside of the house and fled,” reported the OIJ.
According to the official report, the young man shouted for help as the suspects fled.
The OIJ said the house had been ransacked and several items were packed to be taken away, though the suspects fled before they were able to steal anything.
Bigolet’s body was found lying on a bed, gagged and handcuffed. Police said the cause of death was asphyxiation.
Bigolet was a frequent visitor to Costa Rica since 2005, according to immigration reports. His last entry to the country was on May 27th, when he entered on a tourist visa.
