Kurt Van Dyke brutally tortured for his bank details before his death in Costa Rica: cops

Costa Rican investigators say two suspects helped plan the killing of California surfing figure Kurt Van Dyke, who was found dead at his home in February. They allege his girlfriend helped the attackers enter the house and that an apparent robbery was staged to conceal the crime.

Police say the intruders demanded the 66-year-old’s bank card PINs and beat and tortured him when he refused; his body was found under a bed with apparent knife wounds and signs of suffocation. His girlfriend and a 34-year-old man were arrested nearly nine months later, while investigators continue to seek two other alleged attackers; prosecutors will decide whether charges are brought.
