Genaro Peguero, father of murdered teenage Emely Peguero, has revealed that he received telephone calls offering him RD$20 million not to pursue the case against the supposed murderers, Marilin Martínez and her son Marlon, but he has rejected the offer.
Peguero told Listín Diario that he would never negotiate with the body of his daughter and that no amount of money would compensate the pain his family is suffering following her death.
Peguero said that when people realized what had happened to his daughter, Marilin and Marlon went on the run, leaving two children and Marilin’s partner in her home. He said that more than 500 men armed with knives and other objects wanted to break into Marilin’s home to look for vengeance, by harming her children and partner, but that he and his wife, Adalgisa Claribel Polanco, stopped them saying that those children had nothing to do with the crime.
However, he did recommend that the children and their father should move, as people are still enraged over the murder of Emily and the situation could soon be out of control.
