Man Charged For Greengold Farm Murder
posted (January 13, 2014)
Last week Monday, we told you about the first 2 murders of 2014. One of them was the brutal chopping of 41 year-old Maria Domitilia Perez, a business woman from Benque Viejo Town.

Well, police say they've solved that one, and they've arrested and charged 51 year-old Manuel Ernesto Urguia Mencia, a Honduran manager of one of the Green Gold Banana Farmers.

He was arraigned today for murder in the Southern Sessions of the Magistrate's Court and he has since been remanded to prison.

Police have been informed that Perez and Urgia Mencia had an affair, and their disagreement that night was allegedly a dispute about money, which Mencia believed that Perez had pocketed.

They'll have to investigate that information, but what police do know is that they found Perez murdered with multiple chop wounds all over the face.
