The Panamanian Attorney General's Office has confirmed that the body of a woman found on a beach on Carenero Island, in the Panamanian archipelago of Bocas del Toro, is that of the 30-year-old Basque woman Eneritz Argintxona Fraile, who disappeared a week ago in that same area.  The Public Prosecutor's Office has reported in a statement that the autopsy indicates that the woman died as a result of a head trauma, so the case is being investigated as a possible homicide. 

The last time the woman was seen alive was a week ago at the hostel on Isla Carenero where she was staying, where she had arrived a few days earlier after finishing a job as a volunteer in the area, which points out that, according to sources close to her, the girl was planning to return to Spain this week.  The Homicide and Femicide Department of the Bocas del Toro Regional Prosecutor's Office was able to identify the body thanks to the collaboration of the victim's mother, with whom the DNA was scientifically compared.  It was the young woman's family who reported her disappearance at an Ertzaintza police station after having no news of her whereabouts. 

The Public Prosecutor's Office, which has begun field investigations to find those responsible, has reported that some of the victim's belongings have been located, as well as "clues of the possible perpetrators."  The investigation began when residents of the area found the body and notified the authorities.  Subsequently, officials from the Prosecutor's Office went to the scene to remove the body.

Panamanian police arrested a second person on Thursday allegedly linked to the death of a young Basque woman, Eneritz Argintxona Fraile, after a 39-year-old man known by his alias 'Leche' was also arrested on Wednesday.  Both are suspected of having some degree of involvement in the death of the Spanish woman found dead on Carenero Island (Panama) on July 26, according to the Attorney General's Office. 

For now, the authorities have not provided any further details about this second detainee, of whom it is only known that he was arrested in the same province where the lifeless body was found.  For his part, the 39-year-old man and first arrested are at the disposal of the court and will be brought before a judge in the coming days.  One of the detainees has made a statement and, after the hearing, his provisional detention has been decreed, a precautionary measure by which he was admitted to a penitentiary center until the conclusion of the criminal proceedings, as announced by the homicide and femicide prosecutor of Bocas del Toro, Marissa Caballero.  The crimes he is charged with are femicide and aggravated robbery. 

The Panamanian Prosecutor's Office confirmed on Tuesday, July 30, the death of the Spanish woman, who disappeared a week earlier on Colón Island, in the Panamanian province of Bocas del Toro, days after her lifeless body was found on Carenero Island.  The young woman was reported missing July 23, 2024 by the owners of the hostel where she was staying, after she went out for a tour and did not return to her dormitory.  According to the autopsy performed on the body, the young woman from Erandi (Vizcaya) died as a result of head trauma.
