El crimen de Jenaro Ortiz Trailer (1930)
18 September 1930
Lima was shaken in 1930 by a horrifying discovery: a suitcase abandoned in a room at the Hotel Comercio contained the dismembered remains of a man. Soon after, information began to emerge about the perpetrators of the crime and its macabre circumstances. The murderer was the Spaniard Jenaro Ortiz, a man who had acted in a film from his country, such as The Trial of Sister Maria—which premiered in Lima on October 8, 1930, due to the curiosity aroused by the criminal—who dismembered his victim in a room at the Hotel Comercio in Lima for financial reasons. The news became front-page news, and the imagination of Peruvians was captivated by the case from the very beginning.
