The deaths of a 54-year-old farmer and his 18-year-old girlfriend, on last Sunday, appear to be a typical case of murder followed by suicide, even though "it is too soon" to have a conclusive opinion on "what really had happened" the male victim’s relatives said. The case took place at San Juan Nepomuceno, a small town located at 249 kilometers from Asuncion, in the province of Caazapa.
The corpses of Victoriano Escobar Vargas and his girlfriend Mirna Cuba Melgarejo were found by Gregorio Cuba Ortigoza, father of the young girl. Supposedly, Escobar telephoned Cuba and told him that “there was a problem” and asked him to go “to see it”.
Apparently, Escobar shot his girlfriend four times before turning the weapon on himself, the local press said.
The farmer’s body was found in a sitting position, the gunshot wound was located on his right side ear and one .38 revolver was close to the corpse, while the teen’s body was found naked and lying on the ground, on her back.
There are not precise information yet whether the wounds were on the back of the young woman, but - according to local sources - the preliminary conclusion is that the man killed the teenager and then he has killed himself.
However, Ramon Escobar, brother of the male victim, doubted that Victoriano Escobar has committed suicide. “It is to soon to have a conclusión. There is a problem of legal inheritance over a house and a estate within the family, among ourselves. On a whole, we are fourteen brothers and sisters. Victoriano was questioning that situation and now he is dead. it is very suspicious”, the relative said.
