La tarde de este martes 5 de mayo, lo que parec\u00eda un regreso habitual a casa termin\u00f3 en tragedia en el barrio Voluntad de Dios, en el sur de Machala. Nancy Esmeralda Cruz Eras, de 60 a\u00f1os, y su esposo, Luis Alberto Galban Gonz\u00e1lez, de 59, fueron asesinados a tiros cuando llegaban a su vivienda.<\/p>\n
De acuerdo con versiones preliminares, la pareja hab\u00eda salido a realizar una diligencia y, al retornar, Luis Alberto conocido como \u201cBeto\u201d intentaba estacionar el veh\u00edculo frente a su domicilio, incluso subi\u00e9ndolo a la vereda. En ese momento, dos sujetos a bordo de una motocicleta se aproximaron y abrieron fuego en repetidas ocasiones.<\/p>\n
Las primeras hip\u00f3tesis apuntan a que los atacantes habr\u00edan seguido a las v\u00edctimas y aprovecharon el instante previo a su ingreso al hogar para perpetrar el ataque. Como resultado, Luis Alberto qued\u00f3 sin vida dentro del autom\u00f3vil, mientras que Nancy cay\u00f3 en el acceso de la vivienda.<\/p>\n
El estruendo de los disparos alarm\u00f3 a los vecinos, quienes salieron con cautela para observar lo ocurrido. En el parabrisas del veh\u00edculo quedaron evidentes m\u00faltiples impactos de bala, reflejo de la violencia con la que se ejecut\u00f3 el crimen.<\/p>\n
Minutos despu\u00e9s, familiares de las v\u00edctimas llegaron al lugar y protagonizaron escenas de profundo dolor, mientras agentes policiales acordonaban el \u00e1rea para iniciar las pericias correspondientes y levantar indicios bal\u00edsticos.<\/p>\n
La Polic\u00eda Nacional mantiene abiertas las investigaciones para determinar el m\u00f3vil de este doble asesinato y dar con los responsables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
