Overview

• After the building owner reported a strong odor and no response from the tenant, police forced entry through a window into apartment 301 on Avenida Collpa.
• Inside, an adult man, a woman, and a girl estimated at 5–6 years old were found deceased in advanced decomposition.
• Forensic teams documented bloodstains in the unit and stab-like wounds to the man’s neck and abdomen, while the woman and child showed no visible external injuries.
• The prosecutor said the doors and windows were secured from the inside, and investigators are assessing whether the deaths stemmed from homicide or suicide.
• The bodies were taken to the Tacna morgue as unidentified, with autopsies pending; the unit was rented to Juan Carlos Quispe Chávez, who reportedly used a Chilean ID.
