Last week while enjoying herself at Lou's Shark Bar on Sosua Beach a nice friendly Canadian woman was drinking with us along with her Dominican "husband". Everything seemed to be fine. The woman was truly enjoying herself singing rock n roll and laughing. However, her Dominican "husband" brooded. Suddenly he yells to her "let's go!". She told him that she was having fun and wanted to stay a litle longer, the "husband" became quiet. later on they finally left and we said our good byes. The next day we find out that the "husband" beat the living daylight out of this woman's face and tried to suffocate her with a pillow. He then took all of her credit cards and money and took off. Meanwhile this woman was hospitalized in Puerto Plata for several days with her injuries. She is now safely back in Canada and we all wish her well!
If you are reading this, Take care my friend, whoever you are (I did not know your name). I did what I could with the help of Big Lou at the Shark Bar to help you out. I passed the info of this "sankie" to my military friends. However, it is my understanding that you are married to this man. You need to report this incident to the authorities in Puerto Plata. Do not let this man get away with what he did to you. Even in the Dominican Republic women have rights!!!
I know, I know that this happens everywhere but being that this is a DR1 thread I wanted to share this tragedy with all of you.
