Spokesman for the Police, Colonel Frank Felix Duran Mejia said that 26-year old barber Starlin Mejia Polanco and his pregnant wife 20-year old Ana Deysi Batista Espinal were murdered in Cotuí on Sunday, 3 December 2017, by five individuals who were carrying out an order to settle accounts for drug trafficking issues. The men were traveling in a Sonata Hyundai.
Colonel Duran said that the murder is related to another death that had occurred a week ago in Cevicos, Sanchez Ramirez province. He said that the man identified as “Franklin” would have paid the alleged hired assassin nicknamed “The Asian” to kill the relatives of Carlos Santos González, who allegedly had killed his father José Antonio Almonte.
The Police said that when the Police patrol pursued the killers, a Haitian and a Dominican until now unidentified were killed, while Frank Jossie Capellán Familia and Esteban Antonio Santos González, two of the alleged killers of the barber and his wife, were wounded. They remain in a health center in custody.
