According to the evidence provided by the parties, the Court notes that Félix Ordóñez Suazo, coordinator and board member of the Punta Piedra Community Development Association, 145 died on June 11, 2007, due to three bullet wounds. 146 According to the testimony of Marcos Bonifacio Castillo, the only witness to Félix Ordóñez Suazo’s death, this occurred on the said date, at around 7.30 a.m. However, the death certificate gives the time of death as 11.00 a.m. 147 138. In addition, according to the version of the facts recounted by Marcos Bonifacio Castillo, on June 11, 2007, at around 7.30 a.m., he was helping Félix Ordóñez Suazo repair a wire fence on a property located in a place known as El Castillo, adjacent to Punta Piedra. 148 On a nearby path, they both saw Luis Portillo’s son, David Portillo Chacón, 25 years of age, who lived in Rio Miel.

Marcos Bonifacio Castillo indicated that “Félix had already been threatened by Luis Portillo, David Portillo Chacón’s father, and the problem they had was over a piece of land, because they had taken some of Félix’s land and he had reported the problem to the Prosecution Service.” 154 140.
