A Russian businessman who owned the Chalet Maya hotel near the Mexican Caribbean resort city of Cancun was murdered over the weekend, the Quintana Roo state Attorney General’s Office said.

Igor Poiarkov’s body was found Saturday afternoon on a dirt road in the Isla Blanca area, which is close to his hotel, the AG’s office said.

Isla Blanca is on the land portion of the city of Isla Mujeres, adjacent to Cancun.
