After several months of investigations, the Homicide and Femicide Prosecutor of the Public Ministry (MP) of Chiriquí, Hernán de Jesús Mora, reported the arrest of a 47-year- old man for his alleged involvement in the disappearance of three women in the province.

One lived in El Cabrero, David; another in Paja de Sombrero, district of Gualaca; and another in Veladero, Tolé”, said Prosecutor Mora.

The apprehended subject, who will be taken to a control hearing in the coming days, was seen at the David Transportation Terminal with one of the victims, a minor. In addition,  the young woman's clothing was found in his possession.

The man was arrested in November 2021 in the community of Guacá Arriba, located in a distant sector of the city of David.
