Henry Martínez, arrested on his return to the country from Florida, USA, is accused of being complicit in the crime of the murder of 16-year old Emely Peguero. In the first official statement to the authorities he said that he had known about the murder of the teenager since 23 August 2017, and did not tell the authorities as it was nothing to do with him and he was scared.
Henry Martínez confirmed the version that it was his nephew Marlon who told him about Peguero’s death. He said his nephew explained they had been arguing when the young girl hit her head on the edge of a table, causing her death.
Henry Martínez, upon his return, revealed to prosecutors that the body had been moved in a car (a Suzuki), in which his sister, Marlin Martínez, later drove to Santo Domingo where it was kept in a garage. The car was found last Friday, following his revelations to the public prosecutors in San Franciso de Macoris.
