A.M. Costa Rica/Manuel
Avendaño Arce
Police await the arrival of investigators
at the chapel.
Unidentified man kills
himself at quiet chapel
By Manuel Avendaño Arce
of the A.M. Costa Rica staff
An unidentified man picked a quiet place to die Wednesday.
The scene was the chapel of Santa Margarita in Barrio Amón
where nuns affiliated with chapel heard a gunshot about 11:10 a.m.
Fearing the worst, the nuns quickly locked the access to the chapel and
waited until police arrived. They said later that they feared a robbery
was in progress.
Based on what the nuns suspected, an army of police arrived. When they
cautiously entered the chapel they found the body of a man in his 60s
dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted wound to the head.
The man had no identification, and there was no word on his identify.
From the flowered shirt and other clothes he appeared to be a foreigner.

Quick use of stolen card
leads to rapid arrests
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Police on the Caribbean coast quickly tracked a credit card stolen from
tourists and managed to capture three theft suspects.
The Fuerza Pública said that Tuesday three men stole luggage, a
digital camera and telephones from a vehicle operated by two foreign
tourists. This happened at a Cahuita hotel.
Xinia Vásquez, director of the Policía
Turística said that the pair of foreign tourists went to the
local police station to report the crime. That is when officers took
them to a center for tourists so they could report the loss of their
credit cards. In doing so, the pair learned that one of their cards was
in use at a bar in Limón to the north, said Ms. Vásquez.
When police arrived at the bar in Limón Centro they found three
men, and one of them had a passport of one of the theft victims in his
possession, police said. The trio also drove a car similar to the
one reported by the tourists. The three men, San José residents,
were detained. They were identified by the last names of Madrigal,
Zamora and Paniagua.
Police said they found the possessions of the tourists within the
vehicle used by the men.

A.M. Costa Rica guide
This is a brief users guide to A.M. Costa Rica.
Old pages
Each day someone complains via e-mail that the
newspages are from
yesterday or the day before. A.M. Costa Rica staffers check every page
and every link when the newspaper is made available at 2 a.m. each
weekday.
So the problem is with the browser in each reader's computer.
Particularly when the connection with the server is slow, a
computer will look to the latest page in its internal memory and serve
up that page.
Readers should refresh the page and, if necessary, dump the cache of
their computer, if this problem persists. Readers in Costa Rica have
this problem frequently because the local Internet provider has
continual problems.
Searching
The A.M. Costa Rica search page
has a list of all previous editions by date and a space to search for
specific words and phrases. The search will return links to archived
pages.
Newspages
A typical edition will consist of a front page
and four
other
newspages. Each of
these pages can be reached by links near the top and bottom of the
pages.
Classifieds
Five classified pages are updated daily.
Employment
listings are free,
as are listings for accommodations wanted, articles for sale and
articles wanted. The tourism page and
the real
estate sales and real estate
rentals are updated daily.
Advertising information
A summary of advertising rates and sizes are
available
for display
and classifieds.
Contacting us
Both the main telephone number and the editor's
e-mail
address are
listed on the front
page near the date.
