Full story
A preliminary hearing for the murder of an elderly couple in Alajuelita has been suspended. The victims were a 65-year-old woman and an 80-year-old man who were killed in November 2025 at Finca Lajas. The Hatillo Criminal Court made the decision to suspend the proceedings. This announcement came four hours before the scheduled start of the hearing. The suspension happened because a public defender was not available.
