While police are looking into Giron's case, they are also following up on another suspected murder case. On Friday, January 29th around 6:45 in the morning, 30 year old Jose Pedro Menjivar Murcia was found in a semi-unconscious state in another orchard near miles 15 and 16 on the Southern Highway – this is in the Alta Vista Area. He had several injuries to his head. Police told us today that Murcia was out at Finas Bar the night before. He was hanging out with friends but he realized his bike had been stolen. Murcia got into an argument with another man at the bar but the bar owner chased him off. Police found him the next morning thrown in the orchard. He was rushed to the Southern Regional Hospital then transferred to the KHMH. He fought for his life for a few days but died on February 6th. Police have questioned the man Murcia got into an argument with at the bar that Thursday night but they can't confirm if he attacked Murcia. This man is known to police and was charged for striking a man in the head with a bottle in December. In regards to Murcia's post mortem results – the cause of death is blunt force traumatic injuries to the head followed by other complications. We will also keep following up on this case.
