A court in Jozan handed down a life sentence to Maria Alvarez, the wife of the director of the prestigious Jozan International School, after she was found guilty of the pre‑meditated killing of five‑year‑old twins, Lina and Marco Rivera. The trial, which lasted three months, revealed that Alvarez had lured the children to a secluded area under the pretense of a school field trip before committing the murders. Prosecutors argued that the motive was rooted in a personal vendetta against the twins’ father, a former teacher who had publicly criticized the school’s administration. The sentencing was met with a mixture of relief and outrage from the community, with many calling for stricter background checks for staff and their families in educational institutions.
