translated from Spanish: Independence: PDI official suspended amid investigation of woman who died after being shot

During this day, the death of a woman who was found with two bullet wounds in an apartment located in Independencia was announced and a PDI official was detained to be questioned as a suspect in the death. This is a 24-year-old person, whose body was found by a janitor between the 18th and 19th floors with bullet wounds to the head, in addition to a firearm and shell casings. Finally the detective was suspended from the institution and a summary was opened against him to investigate an eventual link with the crime. In this regard, Prefect Leonel Fuentes, head of the North Central Prefecture of the PDI, said that “an official of the Investigation Police went to this building last night to visit a female person, who was later found dead in the place.” For the same reason, the official was questioned as a suspect and according to Fuentes, “a brief investigation was initiated that proceeded to the suspension of the official.” And with this, he indicated that “an administrative investigation will be initiated in order to determine the responsibilities that he may have and like any official who moves away from ethics and institutional values, article 90 will be applied if appropriate, which is the total separation of the institution.”
