Tension in San Víctor: Details revealed about the tragic murder of a farmer in La Mosquita
Communicator Hansel García, a panelist on Esto No Es Radio Show, revealed new details regarding the brutal murder of José del Castillo Bello, a 65-year-old agricultural producer, which occurred in the community of La Mosquita, San Víctor municipality, Espaillat province. The case has shocked the region and raised alarms regarding growing social instability.
According to the data shared by García, Castillo Bello maintained a close relationship of trust with his workers, including a Haitian citizen who worked as his foreman. After finishing an avocado harvest, the farmer allegedly decided to terminate the employment contract, a decision that, according to the investigation presented, triggered the violent event.
The Haitian who knew all those steps waited for him the next day at the gate of his plot, when he arrived between dawn and dusk.

A crime that shakes rural trust
The journalist reported that the attacker, knowing the producer’s routine and schedule perfectly, intercepted him at his property. The victim’s body was later found by his wife, who had gone to the location to bring him breakfast, finding him hidden in the bushes after having been attacked with a bladed weapon.
García stressed that this case highlights the risks faced by many Dominican producers who place their trust in foreign workers without proper precautions, a common practice in the country’s rural areas.
Alert regarding a possible spiral of violence
The impact of crime has caused a tense situation in La Mosquita, where clashes, property fires, and retaliatory actions between the local community and Haitian citizens have been reported. Given this scenario, the Alofoke Deportes panelist warned about the danger of popular indignation leading to a greater tragedy if there is no immediate state intervention.
- Need for justice: A thorough investigation is demanded to clarify the murder and punish those responsible.
- Rural security: García urged the Government to strengthen surveillance in agricultural areas and improve migration control.
- Prevention: The call is to prevent vigilantism from worsening the social conflict in Espaillat province.
The communicator regretted that these types of events lose relevance on the public agenda after the initial reports, insisting that the authorities must take decisive measures to guarantee the safety of Dominican producers and prevent impunity from fueling new acts of violence in the countryside.
