The lawyers of Mario Jose Redondo Llenas and Juan Moliné Rodríguez, that are accused of the assassination of minor Jose Rafael Llenas Aybar, said they would sue the former chief of the Police Segundo Antonio Imbert Tessón, chief of the Police when the murder occurred, and the former director of the Homicides Department of the Police at the time, General Rafael Oscar Bencosme Candelier for perjury and falsity in their testimonies during the first day of the case. The lawyers say that these two are trying to cover up for others that are involved in the case. The case regards the kidnapping, murder of a 12 year old boy and is being televised. The boy was found near the home of the former Argentinean ambassadors with 34 stabs in his back. The son and husband of the former Argentinean ambassador in the DR, Teresa Meccia de Palmas are also accused. They promptly returned to Argentina once their involvement was made known. Yesterday, Bencosme Candelier said that Juan Moliné Rodríguez told him that they had plans to kill the mother of the boy once they received the RD$10 million ransom fee. He said that a telephone number in a notebook was the tip that lead them to Mario José Redondo, a first cousin of the boy, and Juan Moliné Rodríguez, the two that later publicly confessed to the assassination. Redondo and Rodríguez had graduated in the same class of the Colegio Loyola. At the time of the crime, they were 18 years old. During the questioning, the existence of a satanic cult center in Arroyo Hondo was brought up. The center was closed after investigations following the crime were carried out by National Drug Control Department officers. Bencosme explained that an autopsy was not carried out on the cadaver because family members requested the corpse be given to them, and he did so following superior orders. He also explained that because it was a weekend, the Pathology Institute was closed. At the morgue of the Hospital Central de las Fuerzas Armadas, the clothing of the victim mysteriously disappeared. It was said to have been disposed in the routine garbage throw out. Another revelation was that Moliné Rodríguez said that Redondo Llenas stabbed his cousin 33 times. Moliné Rodríguez confessed he did not have the guts to stab the boy. It was also indicated that Moliné Rodríguez had participated in other crimes in La Romana. After participating in the crime, Moliné called his girl friend and told her he was writing a horror story about an 11 year old boy he had killed. Their plan was to keep the kidnapped boy in Jarabacoa until they collected the ransom, but mechanical car difficulties caused them to return to Santo Domingo, and then kill the boy near Arroyo Lebrón, off the Km. 22 Autopista Duarte. Several of the statements by Bencosme contradicted those made by Imbert. Lawyer Ambiorix Díaz Estrella say that there is a major cover up done by law enforcement officers. Lawyer Artagnan Pérez Méndez said that he has a feeling, and will later submit proof, of a friendly link between Bencosme Candelier and the Palmas. The district attorney Francisco Domínguez Brito handed to Judge Julio César Canó Alfau the diplomatic license plate No. 958, property of the former ambassador Teresa Meccía de Palmas, that was used on the car used by the murderers when they assassinated Llenas Aybar. They also handed a ID of Luis Martin Palma Meccía, the ambassador’s son, where the son of the ambassador’s photo was replaced with one of Mario Jose Redondo Llenas Aybar.
