I went to Babelfish Altavista Tanslations and did a back translation to Spanish of the above sentence, and this is what I got....

"La identidad de la ramita y las causas que la tomaron todav?a para confiar la agresi?n no saben"

it must be a code word....

I checked the original article in Digital Key and "verdugo" is the culprit, in both senses of the word.

I also read the Loft article. Cause of death - stupidity.

As a non-Spanish speaker, this was confusing enough before... Are you saying that the "Loft article" has written something that is 'mistranslated' by language software to "stupid" or are you saying that the victim did something stupid that led to his murder?

I will keep silent for the same reason. Not willing to irritate RE people even more.

Sorry, I was being literal. Loft is a Santo Domingo nightclub where three young men were shot dead, or shot each other dead following a disagreement last night.

As senseless and stupid deaths go, this takes the biscuit. I can't even begin to imagine the horror and anger their families are experiencing.

can we keep the loft stuff to the loft thread? (just a suggestion). I mean..that is an interesting topic in and of itself...but a totaly different scenario as to what happened in boca chica.

I have always felt safe at my hotel in boca chica. BUt something really strange happened a couple of weeks ago.

ARound 6:30 in the morning someone was ringing the door to my room. I asked who it was and it was some woman...who i didnt know who the hell she was. WEll..i certainly didnt answer the door. It was just strange as the place (candil) has pretty good security. But even places with good security can have problems. There was recently a well publisized robery at the milenium hotel here in nyc (solid 4 star hotel).

If anyone has better details about this tragic incident please post!

so no real information after a week? They are just investigating? no news on how he was attacked...etc? Did he know the perps or was this just random. This is kinda strange for an AI isnt it? I would think this would be a big deal as it was a tourist at an AI resort...rather than the shoot out at a disco. FOr real..if a tourist is just robbed (not even murdered) in nyc it would make all the papers.

It Happens Everywhere

Well, this is not NY.
This forum's policy has been that if no board member is involved reporting on crime is not welcome (at least this is the impression that I got on various occasions).

People get stabbed everywhere - yes, all over the world.
Germans, too.
And then:
The murder could somehow, someway have been the victim's fault...

Do come and spend your holiday here!
Do come and invest!

Because:
... the hotel in which it never happened.....

Exactly

Lack of details. For example: I think the example you made vis a vi NYthe "client" invited the hooker to the room and then was attacked by two (one was hiding in the closet) when he was not happy with the the price. (talk about a happy ending!)

As always, need the rest of the story.

Not Many Details

... No reports?????
The report is meagre.
German got stabbed in his hotel room by unknown people.
(Names of victim and hotel weren given.)
Makes it to the reception leaving a trail of blood.
He was taken to a hospital where he died.
The hotel manager could not be reached for a statement.

Police investigations are said to have been 'very advanced' and several persons have been detained.
Police announcement to follow soon.

****poor internet translation of Clave article said:
A tourist of German nationality the past died Tuesday 22 after being stabbed by strangers who entered the room in which he was provided with accomodations in the hotel Dominican Bay, of this municipality.
I can't find the original Clave article now, but is there a "Hotel Bahia Dominicana" perhaps?
