The alleged murderer of the woman found in a suitcase in Puerto Vallarta was arrested

On August 6, the body of a woman was found inside a suitcase, among a pile of garbage on the corner of Antonio J. Hernández and Zacatecas extension streets of the Primero de Mayo neighborhood, in Puerto Vallarta.

The authorities were alerted by an emergency call to 911, made by a neighbor in the area who reported the suitcase in the dump and which seemed suspicious to her.
