Luis Palma de la Calzada and Martin Palma Meccia, husband and son of the former Argentinean ambassador in the Dominican Republic, were formally notified by the Ministry of Justice of Argentina to return to the Dominican Republic to stand trial. They are requested to attend the hearing on the case of 12-year old José Rafael Llenas Aybar on 28 May. The two are involved in the case of the assassination of the minor that occurred in May 1996. The boy disappeared on 2 May, and appeared the next day in a brook near the farm where the Argentinean ambassadors raised pit bull dogs. The boy had been stabbed 34 times. 18-year old Mario José Redondo and Juan Manuel Rodríguez Moliné confessed to their participation in the crime, and also involved the Argentineans. The hearing will take place at the Sixth Penal Chamber of the National District.
