Hidalgo, a 55-year-old man, was found dead on Friday in his home in San Vicente de Chires, in San José de Priscal, the Judicial Investigation Bureau (OIJ) reported.
Hidalgo had not been seen since August 18, so his relatives searched for him at his home and found his body, badly decomposed, with wounds allegedly caused by a stabbing weapon.
On Friday, a homicide occurred in Limoncienneguita, where a 36-year-old man named Ortiz was stopped while driving. Several people got out of another car and attacked it with what appeared to be 9mm guns.
Ortiz suffered multiple injuries to his neck, chest, arms and back. He was transferred to Limon’s Tony Facio Hospital, where he died shortly after being admitted.
