According to the testimony of his children, their 67-year-old father was heading to carry out his security duties at a water pumping station, where he had been working for three years. At that location, he was intercepted by two individuals who, after brutally beating him, robbed him of cash, a mobile phone, a flashlight, and a bladed weapon.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evidence and allegations from family members<\/h3>\n\n<p>The complainants assert that there is compelling evidence linking the defendants to the crime. Among the elements mentioned, the victim&#8217;s cell phone stands out, which is currently in the custody of the Prosecutor&#8217;s Office. Furthermore, they highlight that, before his passing, Espelitin Herm\u00f3genes himself managed to identify and point out his attackers to his loved ones.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We want justice to be served and for this not to go unpunished. Because yesterday it was our father and tomorrow it could be someone else.<\/p><cite>Victim&#8217;s relatives<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<p>The family&#8217;s outrage centers on the judicial decision made during the trial on the 19th. Despite having served eight months in pretrial detention, the accused were released, a resolution that the victim&#8217;s children consider unjust and worrying for public safety.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Call to the authorities<\/h3>\n\n<p>Given this scenario, the D\u00edaz brothers have formally requested the intervention of President Luis Abinader and Deputy Attorney General Yeni Berenice Reynoso. Their main objective is for the judicial process to be exhaustively reviewed to ensure that the crime does not go unpunished.<\/p>\n\n<p>The family described Espelitin Herm\u00f3genes as an exemplary and hardworking man who, despite suffering from diabetes, maintained a firm commitment to his daily work. The complainants reiterated that they will continue to raise their voices until the facts are clarified and the full weight of the law is applied to those responsible for this irreparable loss.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relatives demand justice after release of those involved in man&#8217;s death in Ocoa In a desperate call for justice, brothers Jos\u00e9 Bol\u00edvar, Guarionex, and Domin Antonio D\u00edaz denounced the recent release of the individuals identified as responsible for the assault that cost the life of their father, Espelitin Herm\u00f3genes D\u00edaz del Jes\u00fas, in an event [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":143579,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12809],"tags":[4011,13320,5042,14135],"class_list":{"0":"post-143577","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-national","8":"tag-homicide","9":"tag-impunity","10":"tag-justice","11":"tag-ocoa"},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
