Two people arrested for the murder and burning of Felicia Ramírez in the Dominican Republic
Authorities in the Dominican Republic arrested at least two individuals, including a woman, in connection with the homicide of Felicia Ramírez, a 47-year-old domestic worker whose body was found with multiple wounds and partially burnt in a mountainous area of La Vega. The crime has shocked the community and her family members, who are demanding that the motives for the attack be clarified.
Ramírez resided in Santiago and worked as a domestic employee. Last Tuesday, she failed to arrive at her workplace. Her body was found more than 60 kilometres from her destination, in a remote area of La Vega, bearing signs of extreme violence. According to reports, the victim had wounds caused by machete and hammer, in addition to having been partially incinerated.
The identification of the body proved difficult due to the state in which it was found. Finally, investigators managed to identify Ramírez thanks to the design of nail polish on her toenails, a detail that proved decisive in confirming her identity.
The victim's family members described Felicia as a shy person, of few words and dedicated to her work. Her daughter, visibly affected, expressed that her mother did not deserve such an atrocious death. "She was too good a woman, too hardworking," she declared in tears. Other relatives indicated that Ramírez had hearing problems and speculated that she may have been caught off guard by her attackers due to this condition.
The brutality of the crime has caused consternation among residents of the area. Witnesses who knew the victim assured that she was not someone who got into trouble. "She was a girl who did not mess with anyone," commented someone from her circle. The family is demanding that the causes of the homicide be determined and that those responsible be brought to justice.
Police authorities are deepening their investigation to establish the motives for the crime and determine whether more people are involved. For the moment, the two detainees remain in custody as the investigation continues.
According to a report by Univision, the case has generated significant media impact due to the cruelty with which it was carried out.
