On Wednesday afternoon, a woman of Haitian nationality was found dead at her home in the Banegas community, municipality of Villa González de Santiago.

The victim was identified as Altagracia Pierre (60), wearing neck injuries, caused by a white weapon. According to the first elements of the investigation the murderer would be a man of the same nationality, whose name has not been communicated.

The naked body of the victim was found by her husband, which suggests that she could have been sexually abused before being killed and robbed of her property. Indeed, Altagracia Pierre had to travel on Thursday in Haiti and had saved a sum of money for this trip, which could be the motive of the assassin.
