[edit] Material from redirected José Antonio Remón article
- Panamanian President President José Antonio Remón Cantera, was murdered at 7:30 p.m., January the 2nd, 1955, gunned down with a 9 mm German submachine gun, a Schmeisser. Three other men died with him that night. During the investigations an American, Martin Irving Lipstein, was arrested, but later released when lawyer Rubén O. Miró confessed to the crime on January 12th, 1955. Besides, Lipstein had an airtight alibi, since about 4-5 witnessess had seen him in places very far away from the racetrack in which Remón was killed, at about the same time. The investigations were a sham, and served only to indict Jose Ramón Guizado, Remón's Vicepresident. Guizado was involved in the drama when Miró accused him of being the mastermind behind the murder. Later, when Miró, the alleged material perpetrator of the assasination was aquitted, Guizado was finally released from jail, on December 10th, 1957. Altough the crime has never been formally solved, there is a widespread perception in Panama that the material killer was Miró.
