Husband of Slain Piura Pediatrician Arrested as Suspected Mastermind

The court-ordered pretrial detention signals the homicide case has entered a more formal investigative phase.

Overview

  • Police investigators detained William Seminario Girón in Talara on Saturday, hours after a Piura court ordered nine months of pretrial detention.
  • The IV Preparatory Investigation Court issued the order for Seminario and four other suspects as authorities investigate the contract killing of his wife, Minosska Pinto Lazo.
  • Authorities say the four other suspects are already held at the Piura prison under preventive detention for alleged drug trafficking and illegal firearms offenses tied to earlier police operations.
  • Security cameras recorded the April 10 shooting outside Pinto’s home in Piura, providing key timeline details for investigators.
  • Trome has reported alleged confessions and a possible insurance motive, but officials have not confirmed those claims and the investigation remains open.
