Based on the report, the suspect tied up the victims and beat them with a "dos por dos" or rod.
The crime reportedly happened on Thursday, May 16, but the lifeless bodies were only discovered on Saturday when the victims' relatives noticed a strange smell coming from the locked room of the house.
The suspects' motive for the killing was allegedly due to an affair.
Meanwhile, CCTV footage was captured on May 16 at 5:55 a.m. wherein slapping and shouting can be heard behind the house's door.
After the noise, a child can be heard crying in the CCTV footage.
The four-year-old son of the victim and suspect reportedly witnessed the beating of his mother.
The child is now in the care of relatives. "He can't talk properly. He doesn't speak," said a relative.
The suspect has been investigated for three counts of murder.
