The maintenance worker arrested by the police, Nilsom Lemos J?quez has confessed to participating in the rape and murder of a Bulgarian-American UNIBE student last Saturday. Emilia C Gradeteka was killed in her apartment in Residencial Mildred, located on Roberto Pastoriza Street in Santo Domingo. According to police accounts reported in Diario Libre, Lemos J?quez and another man, identified only as William or Candelier were trying to rob the student. Lemos has admitted to the robbery and rape but denies killing the student. However, a police search of his living quarters on 9th Street in La Ci?nega, turned up the girl’s cell phone, her PDA and other belongings as well as a 15-inch blade identified as the murder weapon. According to the Diario Libre report, both men are of Haitian origin and were allowed access to the apartment because the student knew one of them. The report also says that the person known as William has fled to the hills of Neiba after wounding two people in Batey 3 with a firearm.
