He was 34 years old, dominican, family of my wife's. He went to help a couple of friends move some furniture here in santiago. He did not know it was stolen. When the police stopped the truck his friends took off. He did not think there was any big problem so the police took him into custody. They litterly beat him to death. This is standard police procedure in this beautiful country. This is why when you read in the paper that somebody confessed, think about it. He died because HE WOULD NOT CONFESS to a crime he did not do. I saw the beaten body, we buried him last saterday. He left his young pregnant wife behind.
