Monsignor Victor Masalles, bishop of the diocese of Bani, blasted that a National Police officer posed as a priest to end the abduction of a woman and her daughter in Cotu\u00ed. The kidnapper had asked to speak to a priest. The impersonation ended in tragedy, with the policeman shooting the man to put an end to the situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Police said they a real priest was not called in because they feared his life would be at risk. “The man was not up to turning himself in,” he was pointing a gun at the mother and child and “we had to act,” argued the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masalles tweeted, asking if in the future a person would ask to see a priest?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dead man is Jos\u00e9 Antonio Reyes Uyola (El Gordo), who resided in the municipality of Maim\u00f3n, province of Monse\u00f1or Nouel. According to the Police, Reyes was involved in shooting a 17-year-old boy before abducting the woman and her daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When fleeing from a police patrol, Reyes Uyola entered a house in the community of La Yagua, in Cotu\u00ed, where he took the house owner and her minor daughter hostage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police action against “El Gordo” was captured on video, which clearly shows the moment he was shot in the face by the policeman posing as a priest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an editorial today in Diario Libre, executive editor Adriano Miguel Tejada says the policeman\/priest acted beyond what is his duty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
