Simón Bolívar Ureña Almánzar (“El Boli” or “Machú”), one of those accused in participating in the concealment of the body of 16-year old Emely Peguero, appealed yesterday, 30 October 2017, in the hope of overturning the coercive measure of one year in preventive custody imposed by a San Francisco de Macoris judge.
The family of Emely Peguero is hoping that the court will not grant the appeal and that he will stay in jail.
“El Boli” was arrested and accused of having participated in moving Emely’s body together with her boyfriend Marlin Martinez and his mother Marlon Martinez, that are in jail serving preventive custody.
The body of the 16-year-old was found in a suitcase on the side of the road after she had gone missing for several days. She was five months pregnant. Prosecutors say that tests showed her uterus had been punctured and she had suffered a blunt blow to her head.
