After becoming aware of the discovery, the Isthmus Regional Vice Prosecutor’s Office assumed responsibility for the investigations, which is why it deployed a multidisciplinary team to process the site.

At the scene, the experts, agents of the public ministry and elements of the State Investigation Agency (AEI) carried out investigative acts consisting of inspection and removal of the three male corpses, which are found as unidentified. They are also in an initial state of decomposition.
