Five people were arrested for the murder last year of German native Cheistan Friedeman Taschner in central Colombia, among them his wife and two alleged lovers, local media reported Thursday.

After an investigation over eight months by the Prosecutor General’s technical investigation team, the team’s National Director Luis Gonzalez Leon revealed on Wednesday the results. They concluded the September 2013 murder of Taschner was not committed by members of the FARC, as Taschner’s spouse had claimed.

Colombia’s Semana newsmagazine reported that investigators had concluded the murder was a “crime of passion.”

“The investigation gathered evidence and materials from which one deduces that the most probable hypothesis of what surrounded this homicide involved passionate and economic motives,” Leon said.
