Two suspects have confessed to detectives of their crime. A third suspect was also arrested.

Pedro Luis Santiagovega, 40, of Lake Worth has been charged with the murder of the unidentified victim.  

Freddy Silvagnoli, 44, of Lake Worth has been charged as an accessory because he admitted to helping dispose of the body.
