Dorian Daniel Nieves Herrera killed himself after the murder

In the case of Ociel’s partner, the prosecutor’s office indicates that, according to the investigation, he used another knife to slit his own throat.

According to El País, this resulted in his death. Both bodies were found inches from each other.
