Records show there have been nine femicides in the Dominican Republic so far this year. The latest victim is Angélica María Rodríguez Muñoz, aged 21 and the ex-partner of Celestino Trinidad (Becerro), who killed her together with a young man.
The first killed this year was Elira Cabrera, ex-partner of Juan Recio, who killed her along with his mother in law Confesora Toribio, in Los Guaricanos. He also threatened their three children, before fleeing and later being arrested.
Two days later, Francisco José Estrella Patrocinio, killed his partner, 30-year-old Ana Isaura Pimentel Girón, and then killed himself in the Caribe Tours car park.
