In the early morning hours of Oct. 1, firefighters were called to the scene of a blaze in the Midtown neighborhood of Kansas City. Inside the smoldering apartment, they found the bodies of Camila Behrensen, 24, and Pablo Guzman-Palma, 25, both scientists at the city’s nearby Stowers Institute for Medical Research. The fire was not what killed the pair, the police department says.
“After entering the apartment to extinguish the fire, KCFD located two victims inside suffering from apparent trauma,” a spokesperson for KCPD said in a statement. The pair had apparently been murdered before the fire was set. The fact that Behrensen was from Argentina and Guzman-Palma from Chile will make it that much harder for Mayor Quinton Lucas to pacify an international media with his disingenuous bromides.
