An official with the Office of Security of Punta Lara, Susana Gonzalez, told local media their main suspect is the house’s tenant, reportedly the oldest victim’s romantic partner.
She said the killings apparently occurred on Friday night or Saturday. The bodies were found buried 5 feet under the ground, wrapped with plastic bags and blankets.
They were both naked, she said, but it has not yet been determined if they were sexually attacked.
