Man Who Shot Dead His Girlfirend
and Sister Found Dead in Liberia
Manuel Francisco Castro
Valderomar, known as "Ranger",
was found dead about 100 metres
from his mother's house, seven
days after he murdered his 22
year old girlfriend, Annie Marie
Valverde Mora and her 15 year
old sister, Arlene Maria, in
Liberia.
"Ranger" was the focus of a man
hunt that involved up to 50
police officers, as well as an
undisclosed number of neighbours
from the area, who were not able
to locate him. However, early
yesterday morning, Danny Aragón
Chávez, located the Ranger's
body while walking to work.
Ranger was found face down and
in a state of decomposition.
Police are working on the
assumption that the man
committed suicide. They found no
weapon near the body and will
wait a forensic examination to
determine the exact cause of
death. A bag containing
ammunition was found near the
body, but no firearm.
Ranger had tried to poison
himself in a suicide attempt.
Failing, he then decided to
assassinate his girlfriend and
her sister and then fled the
scene. The motive is not clear,
however, officials say that the
couple had recently been
separated and the woman wanted
nothing to do with him.
