One has nothing to do with the other. I’m sure they were nice people and didn’t deserve to die the way they did; no-one does.
But it remains that there were 340 Dutch “investors” who likely never set foot on the place and have gotten no return on their investment. In the 1990′s there were several “Teak Investment” schemes running alongside “The Brothers”. “The Cuban”, etc.

With no military, no police force to speak of and a bleeding heart liberal judicial system violence was coming to Costa Rica sooner or later.

You obviously have no idea, They were very hard working people, trying to protect their investment for their retirement. They were the ones that were schemed 10 years ago. They emigrated to C.R. to make the best of it. Absolutely no swindlers. Shame on you!

“residential lots and farmland”, my ass. Looks like a “Teak Investment” scheme.
Google on “Ganadera La Flecha” and see where it leads.

They will not find anyone why, it costs money unless searching for the thieves has financial profit for the CR government this story will be bury deep and soon cold/dead file case almost immediately, I said it once I will say it again stay away from this sewer of a country, CR government top ten most corrupt governments on planet earth.
If you come to this country and died the only person or persons that will carry the burden is the victim’s family expenses grief and no case solutions.
You have an excellent chance as a tourists to die in CR, Ticos think all tourists are rich no matter what.

You are, sadly, correct. No use complaining about how the laws are soft on criminals here, the system is lax, broken, however you want to describe it and will NEVER be fixed. It is based on the Costa Rican’s being soft babies. Mommy lovers.

Immediately the name of the “Crooked fat Dutchman” Ivo Henfling from “Go Dutch Realty” comes to mind. He is known to have developed and built homes in an area of Atenas on top of the old town dump and sold to unsuspecting foreigners.

Maybe the killers were looking for him? However he was last known to hide out in Escazu.
Here is a photo of the grinning idiot. Maybe this helps?

This has become the norm here. Someone on a farm or isolated property found dead every month or so. Sad thing is the Murderer hardly ever caught and if caught spends what a couple years in prison.

People are going to think twice about moving to CR to retire. I am thankful I did not purchase a property in CR.
