San Francisco prosecutors placed formal acusations against Marlon Martínez and his mother Marlyn for the murder of 16-year old pregnant teenager Emely Peguero in Duarte province. The prosecutors have asked for 30 years for Marlon and 20 years for his mother. The prosecutors desisted from making accusations against the two maids of the Martínez household and the brother of Marlin, Henry Martínez. They also did not press charges against Simón Bolívar Ureña (El Boli), initially accused of having disposed of the corpse. Ureña reached a deal with the prosecutors to tell all he knew. The case is heard by Judge Isolina Peralta.
Peguero was murdered when seven months pregnant of Martínez’s child. Initially she had been reported missing by Martínez and his mother. Ureña later helped locate the corpse that had been left inside a suitcase in a farm in nearby Espaillat province.
