Third Person Executed This Week in Costa Rica

The Central American online gambling Mecca of Costa Rica is reeling this week from three executions in as many evenings.

The most recent murder was a transport ministry architect who is related to two high-profile media figures.

Tuesday night a policeman was gunned down in Desamparados, within the San Jose area, according to an AM Costa Rica report.

Monday men on a motorcycle executed a businesswoman as she drove through the eastern section of Zapote in San José. A motorcycle was involved in the killing Wednesday night, and one might have been involved Tuesday.

In each case robbery did not seem to be the motive.

Online gambling executives and employees have long been targets of violence in the country.
