“I am very hurt, saddened by the tragedy that has occurred within our family. I learned about the disappearance of the girls through my family and we carried out the search. All the residents of Ciudad Belén suspected the three detained subjects. When we arrived at the house (of the suspects), in search of the missing girls, they did not want to give us information, rather they got angry and I noticed that the house was being washed and that made me more suspicious, “said the relative.
“I am asking for justice so that the authors pay,” he demanded.
The victims had three months of having arrived in the capital. The family, of the Miskito ethnic group, is originally from the Walakitang community of Río Coco, in Wiwilí, department of Jinotega, and came to Managua in search of work.
