Damage to the walls of its perimeter wall, to its ceramics, to the gates, detachment of ornamental images and damage to several tombs, was what residents found this January 1st in the new cemetery of Pueblo Nuevo, department of Estelí.
Citizens, including Oswaldo Rocha, exposed the situation and expressed their concern about what happened. They also indicated that until this Wednesday, January 4, they had no indication of those responsible. Rocha said that police officers went to the Camposanto to investigate the case.
One of the tombs affected was that of the mother of the renowned professor Leónidas Pérez. An image of Christ was detached from the tombstone, which is valued at 6,000 córdobas.
Apparently, the criminals intended to take the image, but they could not and it remained on the site, hanging, so the teacher decided to remove it, at the risk that it would be presented again.
