在哥斯达黎加一个深受游客欢迎的热带海滨小镇,一名女子因一名美国公民的死亡而被捕。
A woman has been arrested in connection with the death of an American citizen in a tropical beach town popular with tourists in Costa Rica.
哥斯达黎加司法调查局副局长弗拉基米尔·穆尼奥斯在视频声明中表示,一名身份为奥尔蒂斯的女子于周二下午12时30分左右被捕,此案涉及弗莱明被杀一事。弗莱明是一名74岁的美国人,于9月27日被发现死于海滩附近的一处公寓。
In a video statement, Costa Rica Judicial Investigation Agency Deputy Director Vladimir Muñoz said a woman identified as Ortiz was arrested around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday in connection with the killing of Fleming, a 74-year-old American who was found dead Sept. 27 at a condominium near the beach.
据哥斯达黎加当局称,事件发生在9月27日下午4时50分,地点是普拉亚斯德尔科科,这是哥斯达黎加北太平洋沿岸一个热门旅游区的海滨小镇。
The incident took place in Playas del Coco, a seaside town in a popular tourist area on Costa Rica’s northern Pacific coast, at 4:50 p.m. on Sept. 27, according to Costa Rican authorities.
穆尼奥斯说,弗莱明在网上结识了奥尔蒂斯,并在普拉亚斯德尔科科附近接上她,随后开车将她带到自己的公寓。两人后来发生了某种争执,据穆尼奥斯称,争执期间奥尔蒂斯据称击打了弗莱明,造成其头部致命伤。她被指控偷走了他的银行卡,但目前尚不清楚这些卡是否被使用过。这名女子一直在逃,直到当局于周二将其逮捕。
Muñoz said Fleming met Ortiz online and picked her up near Playas del Coco before driving her to his apartment. The two later got into some type of dispute, during which Ortiz allegedly struck Fleming and caused a fatal head injury, according to Muñoz. She's accused of stealing his bank cards, but it's unknown if they were used. The woman had been on the run until authorities arrested her on Tuesday.


在涉嫌凶杀案发生时,该女子身穿蓝色牛仔短裤、凉鞋,以及一件带有链状饰品的白色胸罩。在警方公布的监控录像中,可以看到她与另一名女子走在街上,后者也已被捕。
At the time of the alleged homicide, the woman was wearing blue denim shorts, sandals and a white bra that had chain-like accessories on it. She was seen in security video released by police walking down a street with another woman, who has also been arrested.
穆尼奥斯说,此次逮捕是执法部门收到匿名举报的结果,并称奥尔蒂斯是在圣费利佩德阿拉胡埃利塔的一处住宅中被捕的。
Muñoz said the arrest was the result of confidential tips that were sent to law enforcement, stating Ortiz was arrested at a house in San Felipe de Alajuelita.
