Overview
- Police are treating the case as a presumed feminicide after a woman was found shot dead in a lodging in El Progreso on Nov. 5 and a man was discovered dead in the same room.
- The victim was identified as Flor de María Serna Ramos, a young mother who leaves an 11-year-old child.
- Family members say Walter Linares Gonzales had persistently harassed her and allegedly lured her to the hostal after she left home for the gym.
- Relatives allege the shooting was an act of revenge after she rejected a relationship, before the man took his own life.
- Both bodies were taken to the Central Morgue of Lima for legal procedures, and the Carabayllo municipality ordered the hostal closed while investigators gather evidence.
