Members of the Scientific, Criminal and Criminal Investigations Corps (CICPC), who are stationed in the state of Mérida, were able to clarify the murder of a 36-year-old man.

According to information published by the general director of this body, Commissioner Douglas Rico, the investigation began after the discovery of the body of Orlando Rodolfo Contreras Gutiérrez in the San Onofre sector, Mérida-El Vigía highway, Fernández Peña parish, Campo Elías municipality of the city of Mérida .

In this regard, it became known that the troops carried out cyber patrols, telephone analysis, technical-scientific expertise and georeferencing analysis of the crime; this made it possible to establish the identity and whereabouts of those responsible, as well as to determine the modus operandi used.

“It was established that Jesús Yoel Ocando Murgas (20) and Deiger Yoel Ocando Mantione (27) contacted Orlando through the Facebook platform (Marketplace) to simulate the purchase of a Toyota vehicle, model Yaris. At the conclusion of the meeting, and under the pretext of verifying the operational status of the motor vehicle, the criminals drove the victim to a desolate place. In the secluded location, the criminal duo tried to strip the victim of the vehicle under threat of death. Faced with the victim's resistance to the robbery, Deiger shot him in the head area, leaving the body adjacent to the site,” he said.
