Diana Enamorado Perdomo, a 44-year-old Honduran national and mother of three, was killed in a suspected murder-suicide at a Hebron, Connecticut residence on March 13, 2026.
Her partner, 44-year-old Gregorio Calihua-Mantiel, reportedly beat her to death—possibly with a bat, per family claims—and then took his own life by ligature compression of the neck before police arrived.
Incident Details
Police responded to a 3 a.m. disturbance call on Route 66, forcing entry to find both bodies; Perdomo’s death is officially a homicide from blunt force head trauma, while Calihua-Mantiel’s is a suicide.
Connecticut State Police confirmed the murder-suicide classification, with the medical examiner verifying causes.
The New Haven Register first reported Calihua-Mantiel as the perpetrator.
Family Response
Perdomo’s daughters in Honduras seek help repatriating her body for a Christian burial, noting she left three years ago for a better life.
A GoFundMe by niece Rubi describes her as a hardworking, kind mother and grandmother killed in “unimaginable cruelty.”
Honduran outlets like HCH TV detailed the bat allegation from family.
