On Monday night, 14 January 2019, three bodies were discovered, two burned inside an SUV, in Higueral-Cacata, La Romana province. According to a police report, a third body with a bullet wound was discovered near the vehicle. The victims were identified as Juan Gil Adames, \u00c1ngel Carri\u00f3n and Gregorio P\u00e9rez Santana, all residents of La Romana. The motive for the crime is not yet known. At the scene, the police found at least eight bullet casings and believe the victims had been shot and killed before being burned in the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police say they were alerted to the crime at around 5:40pm, and the bodies were taken to the morgue at the La Romana public hospital. According to medical examiner, Benito Kelly, when the bodies were discovered, they had been dead for around 15 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The case is investigated by prosecutor H\u00e9ctor Julio Matos and the Departament of Criminal Investigations (Dicrim) of the eastern command of the National Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diario Libre says the authorities are linking the deaths to drug trafficking. A source told the newspaper: \u201cApparently, the characteristics of how these people died seem proper of a settling of accounts.\u201d \u201cNaturally, we now have to deepen the investigations, identify the bodies and know exactly what this is all about,” said the unnamed officer of the Police to Diario Libre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
