A local resident was found stabbed on Thursday and died of a knife wound to his chest.

The victim was Mágnum Enrique Benavides Zúñiga, known locally as Gordo Malo.

Authorities were unable to locate any witnesses to the attack.  But there are plenty of possible motives as Benavides was alleged by many in the community to have been responsible for many break-ins over the years in Puerto Viejo.

    PV can seem like a bit of anarchy at times, but justice seems to always come. I have lived there for many years and it seems every real problem person like Gordo Malo, has been dealt with one way or another. It would be nice if other aspiring criminals would take note.
