The 24-year-old hit-and-run driver who ran over, and killed at dawn on Saturday, August 5, a man and a woman on Avenida de Los Mártires, in the capital city, turned himself in on Tuesday.

Deputy Commissioner Reyes González, in charge of the Arraiján Police Zone, said the suspect turned himself in at the headquarters of the National Directorate of Judicial Investigation ( DNIJ ), in Vacamonte, province of Panama West.

González pointed out that the voluntary surrender of the person allegedly linked to the transit event was possible thanks to the operations carried out by the National Police and the Public Ministry to identify him and find his whereabouts.

After the delivery, the DNIJ units issued an arrest warrant against the man, since he is being requested by the Metropolitan Area Homicide and Femicide Prosecutor's Office.

He will be placed under the orders of the Prosecutor's Office, whose staff will be responsible for presenting him before a guarantee judge to prosecute the fatal hit-and-run case in which a 30 -year- old woman and a 22-year-old man lost their lives.

n Saturday it was learned that the blow that the victims received was so strong that one flew through the air and fell on the opposite road, while the other was trapped on the hood of the vehicle for several minutes before falling to the pavement, near the Avenida de los Mártires bridge, so it is presumed that the driver was speeding.
