The Fourth Collegiate Court of the National District sentenced Guo Sen Liang Situ (a.k.a. Chinese Frank) to 30 years in prison for the murders of two men back in 2016. The murders were committed at a construction site in Gascue in the National District when the accused asked the two men to come and procure a check for RD$3 million of some RD$13.0 million that was owed by the defendant to the two men — Jose de los Remedios Silva Fernandez and his cousin Hector Antonio Mendez Gutierrez, allegedly to cover gambling debts at several casinos.
The prosecutors established that De los Remedios and Mendez were beaten to death at the scene, and then hidden in a deep hole on the construction site. The Chinese man fled to the United States, where he was arrested and deported three and a half years later.
The court also sentenced the defendant to pay an indemnity of RD$75 million to the families of the deceased for punitive damages.
