The Prosecutor’s Office said that Christian arrived at the entity since January 16, where along with three other people he was following the victim at the hotel.
Faced with the surveillance inside and outside the hotal, the Prosecutor’s Office maintained that they temporarily left Quintana Roo, to later pick up another subject allegedly hired for the same purpose.
“On Friday, January 21, Christian ‘R’ received instructions to pick up another subject hired for the same purpose at the International Airport of the State of Quintana Roo and immediately, they moved to the aforementioned hotel to which they entered, apparently, with bracelets which served them to remain temporarily in the facilities of the hotel,” explained prosecutor Óscar Montes de Oca Rosales at a press conference.
After the aggression, the alleged perpetrators agreed to flee, however the videos of the hotel, the C5 and the Prosecutor’s Office of Quintana Roo, allowed to locate him a day after the attack.

The Prosecutor’s Office ruled that the attack on the 34-year-old Canadians stemmed from “an economic debt that is generated by transnational illicit activities in which the victims participated.”
