The Attorney General Office announced in concluding its investigation into the escape of convicted contract killer Pedro Alejandro Castillo Paniagua (Quirinito). The Attorney General said it turns the investigation over to the branches of state security agencies. Quirinito had been sentenced to 30-years in jail for the murder of a Spaniard. Now the Attorney General says they have no credible information on the whereabouts of Quirinito, as reported in El Nacional.
“The Attorney General Office did its job and has identified and located those guilty of the escape, but it cannot do absolutely nothing until others, not us, fulfill their role of arresting him and bringing him to us,” the source told El Nacional. As reported, the authorities suspect Quirinito fled the country through the border with Haiti.
Quirinito’s wife and lawyer, Jennifer Estefani Domínguez Hernández attempted to leave the country last month. Domínguez has maintained that Quirinito is dead but cannot lead the authorities to where he was buried nor has she been helpful in informing the authorities of his whereabouts. She was arrested at the Las Americas International Airport because she had not notified the authorities she would be flying out of the country. She has not been banned from leaving the country, only from reporting her travel plans to the authorities. The media has not reported if she later left the country.
Dominguez was instrumental in obtaining the domiciliary arrest on grounds that her husband suffered from terminal mouth cancer. Later, she obtained a death certificate for her husband.
