Judge ordered three months pre-trial prison
for suspect in shooting of two police officers


By the A.M. Costa Rica staff

The Deputy Prosecutor's Office of Liberia* in the province of Guanacaste, confirmed that the criminal court judge ordered three months of preventive prison for  a man surnamed Steward Postel, a 69-year-old Costa Rican nationality,  who is a suspect in the attempted murder of two police officers.

As A.M. Costa Rica reported yesterday, agents of the Judicial Investigation Organization have reported that Steward had 39 weapons (four pistols, 10 revolvers, and 25 rifles) in his house.

Police report that the suspect apparently does not have all the legal registration documents for those weapons.

The weapons were found when police officers searched the suspect's home on one day after he was detained for shooting and wounding two policemen.

The police report that on Thursday they got a 9-1-1 call about some people who had been swimming in a river when a man arrived and shot at them to make them leave his property.

When the officers arrived at the scene, they asked the suspect to surrender his weapon but he refused and shot both officers.

Apparently, the two officers were talking to the suspect when they were shot.




"Two officers were injured. One remains hospitalized with serious injuries that compromise vital organs," said the police report.

A third officer at the scene responded to the shooting by wounding the suspect in the leg. "The third officer who was at the scene, made use of his firearm, shooting this man in the thigh, a wound that was taken care of after he surrendered," said the police their report.

The two wounded policemen are surnamed Aguilar and Mora. They were taken to the Dr. Enrique Baltodano Hospital* in Liberia, where they remain hospitalized.

The suspect was sent to the same hospital, and after he was treated, police officers took him to the cells of the Public Ministry where the judge ordered the three months of pre-trial prison against him.


----------------
Should the suspect have asked the police to remove the trespassers from his property instead of shooting at them?  We would like to know your thoughts on this story. Send your comments to: news@amcostarica.com
