Maybe that will wake up some residents in paying their APC (Association of Proprietors of Costambar) fees so that Costambar security can be beefed up!

I have been planning to upgrade my security systems with alarm, cameras the work.

After such a murder, I am sure many other people will want to upgrade their security as well.

Wow, this is very telling. I think we had another thread on this topic when the German From SD was killed. Cristo Rey felt that SD was the most dangerous place and far more than the North Coast.
I disagreed! 3+ million in the Capital and only 1 of the 11 murders happened in SD! I know Leon Alter is making some huge beneficial progress in the NC hopefully others and the Policia can add the required help or
the tourism may never return to the NC.

1/3 of all homicides in DR take place in SD and DN. murders of gringos is another matter.

Sending out death squads like in Brazil to clean the streets from that lowlife crap comes to mind.

than the North Coast.I disagreed!

There could be 20 or 30 more gringos murdered this year on the North Coast and I'll still say
Santo Domingo is a hell of a lot more dangerous. I'm guessing this will be another case of an
elderly retired person who fell prey to a hungry predator. (RIP)
Until these politicians start spending more money on education and job creation for these
people instead of blowing it all on villas and jeepetas... this ugly cycle will continue no matter
how many criminals the PN kill or incarcerate.

On Sunday a prominent forensic pathologist Sergio Sarita Valdez came out and said a lot
of the violent deaths across Santo Domingo are not being properly classified and criminals
are not being caught or investigated due to this problem.

"he said and warned that violent deaths that occur in Greater Santo Domingo are enough to
saturate the system "and cannot respond."

I may be wrong but maybe the Haitian, if he was the one who stabbed her would make some sense because Dominicans won't usually kill a foreigner to just rob 'em. I would think personally that it would cause too much trouble to kill a foreigner because the "heat" would be on my tuchas like spit on the pavement, lickety split. Dominicans still appreciate that foreigners are kinda "hands off" because you can always rob them easier cuz they are disoriented and less on guard since they are relaxing, drunk, high or in large groups which would help or hinder a potential domino crook/thief.
The Haitian especially if he was a newcomer, would not be aware/conscious (or maybe he is that much of moron/dumbass) of the fact that you don't kill a tourist.
