Steve Paul Sandusky, 61, from the US, was found on his property along with five Costa Rican victims who arrived on Sunday at his farm in Llano Bonito de Buenos Aires de Puntarenas, in the southern part of the country. Sandusky was a Costa Rican resident, according to Judicial Investigation Agency (Organism de Investigacion Judicial, or OIJ) director Walter Espinoza, and owned a farm in the small Buenos Aires village. It is unclear where he resided in the United States. The other five victims - 44-year-old Daniel Quesada Cascante, his 41-year-old wife Villarevia Rivera, his 20-year-old son, a woman named Zúñiga Rodriguez, 40, and a man named Borbón Muñoz, 38 - went to the property on Sunday to repair agricultural machinery, according to TVSur. The slaying shook the peaceful nation, which has the lowest homicide rate in Central America at 11.1 per every 100,000 inhabitants. Currently, police have no leads in the slaughter. A broken window and signs of a search inside the home on the property have lead authorities to believe that theft could have been the killers' motive.
