Serial Rapist
and Killer
Betrayed By
Lover And Mother
Now In Police
Custody
The Fuerza
Pública and the
Organismo de
Investigación
Judicial (OIJ)
have been on
full alert the
past two weeks
in search of the
"violador en
serie" (serial
rapist) who
turned killer,
stalking women
along the
autopista
General Cañas,
where police
patrols and
search of the
bushes and
ravines
intensified this
past week.
However, it was
the call of a 15
year old girl to
police to tell
them her story
that led Milton
Joaquín Díaz
Berrosteran
behind bars.
The girl, who
identity was not
released, lived
with Díaz for
the last six
months and told
police she was
also raped by
the man and had
filed charges
against him,
what authorities
believe to be
the stressor
behind the crime
spree.
Francisco
Segura,
subdirector del
Organismo de
Investigación
Judicial (OIJ),
at a press
conference
explained how
they confiscated
items like a SIM
phone chip and
sunglasses
belonging to the
one of the
victims attacked
by Díaz.
Segura said to
be certain that
the man in
custody is the
serial rapist
who turned
killed, raping
five women and
killing Cindy
Esquivel,
between June 17
and 24.
Díaz's mother
was also
responsible for
the capture,
telling the
press that she
knew her son had
problems, had
been a drug user
and was prone to
violence, but
could not
stomach that her
offspring was
the rapist
turned murder.
"In this like
all comes to be
known", the
woman told
police.
The woman said
she could not
keep quiet and
become an
accomplice,
telling police
that the man
they had in
custody was her
son was faking
being deaf and
dumb.
Segura explained
that the man
would entrust
the women who,
for the major
part, got off a
bus on the
General Cañas,
using his
"disability" as
a trick to lure
the women to a
secluded area
where he would
then pull out a
knife and
sexually assault
them.
In the case of
Cindy Esquivel,
the sexual
assault turned
to murder.
Authorities say
the man lived
less than a
kilometre from
Cindy Esquivel.
Milton Joaquín
Díaz Berrosteran
was ordered to
six months
preventive
detention while
authorities
continue their
investigation
and collect
evidence to be
used in trial.
