Carmona Jaén

Carmona Jaén, a 48-year-old doctor from Liberia, Costa Rica, has been accused of murdering his wife, Raquel Arroyo Aguilar, to claim her life insurance policy, which he was the primary beneficiary of. The case, which has garnered significant media attention, revolves around the events of July 2020, when Arroyo Aguilar was found dead under suspicious circumstances. After a lengthy investigation, Carmona was arrested in September 2023, and the prosecution has sought a maximum sentence of 35 years for femicide. The trial has drawn parallels to a similar case involving another doctor convicted of murdering his spouse.
