Four persons from East Santo Domingo who are accused of forming a gang of criminals that stole a baby girl last week in a park in Los Mina say that they are innocent and that they were only trying to do a good deed. Evelyn Moronta Inoa, one of the accused, said that she was a childhood friend of the baby’s mother and she said that the mother did not have the means to maintain the baby and that she was going to sell the child for RD$5,000. She describes herself as a pastor.
Moronta Inoa, 40, said that her daughter-in-law, Jessica Castillo, was going to take care of the baby. Moronta says that she is a good woman, the mother of six children, who has grandchildren and is not a criminal. Jessica Castillo, who is married to one of Moronta’s sons, said that they are innocent. She assured reporters that she wanted to raise the little girl. The case is scheduled to be heard in justice on Friday, 13 April 2018.
