What is known so far is that this is a case where a jealous wife allegedly paid contract killers to eliminate her husband’s lover. The case complicated when the contracted murderers mistakenly shot another person.
Yesterday, Monday 12 May, husband-lawyer Julio Cepeda Urena was sent to San Pedro de Macoris prison for a year on remand, charged with covering up for his wife and obstructing the investigation into the murders of two young women, Natasha Teresa Sing German and Suleika Flores Guzman. The sentence was handed down by Judge Julio de los Santos in Santo Domingo. Sing German was a niece of the Dominican Medical Association president.
Cepeda’s lawyer, Fernando Perez Volquez, said they would appeal as his client was innocent and has always cooperated with authorities to clarify the case. He went on to say that Cepeda Urena did not know that his gun was used in the crimes.
His wife, Sanhys Dotel Ramirez, also a lawyer, was sent to Najayo women’s prison.
In the case, Natasha Sing German was killed first, in a case of mistaken identity. Nevertheless, the contract killers struck again, and murdered the suspect intended target, Suleika Flores Guzman.
Jonny Sencion Gomez (Pay), Jesus Manuel Mendoza (El Patron) and Francys Alexander Fermin Gonzalez were remanded to the La Victoria jail, accused of planning the murders of Natasha Teresa Sing German and Suleika Flores Guzman, which were contracted to Amaury Soriano Garcia and Luis Abel Perez, both also sent to preventive custody in La Victoria last week. As reported, they were paid RD$400,000 to kill Suleika, but when they killed the wrong woman, they were hired again for an additional RD$400,000 to eliminate Dotel’s husband’s lover, according to the prosecutor’s file. Amauris Soriano Garcia (El Nevado) is said to have been the man who shot the women, while Luis Abel Perez (Luisito) drove the motorcycle they were riding when they committed the crimes.
