Unidentified Bodies Found in Arequipa and Tijuana as Authorities Open Forensic Inquiries

Both cases now hinge on forensic results, with autopsies pending.

Overview

  • In Arequipa, police followed an anonymous call and discovered a man in a vacant lot in Sabandía’s Umapalca area on Friday afternoon.
  • The victim there, about 50 years old, was found semi-naked with blood beneath his head and an unusual neck lesion, and carried no identification.
  • Representatives of the Public Ministry and a medical examiner removed the body as investigators work to determine the cause of death, aided by a witness who saw the man unclothed on November 18.
  • In Tijuana, municipal officers responding to a 7:10 a.m. alert found a body on a sidewalk in El Pípila under a gray tarp and wrapped in a sky-blue plastic bag, with signs of violence.
  • State prosecutors collected evidence under National Guard security and transferred the remains to Semefo for necropsy, and authorities reported nearby searches with no arrests so far.
