Lawyer requests expanded investigation into Zeneida Castillo death
Plutarco Jáquez, the legal representative for the family of Zeneida Socorro Castillo, has requested that the Santo Domingo Este Prosecutor's Office open a new line of investigation regarding her death. The request follows the submission of new evidence, including WhatsApp conversations and voice notes that allegedly mention names of individuals who should be investigated.
Castillo was the wife of merengue musician Gilberto Julián Sarante Perdomo, known as Julián Oro Duro. The incident occurred during an attack on the musician's residence on the afternoon of September 20, 2026.
Jáquez expressed skepticism regarding the current hypothesis that the crime was a common robbery. He noted that it appeared unlikely for suspects to remain in the home from 5:00 PM until 1:00 AM after allegedly securing 50,000 dollars and jewelry, while waiting for a chain valued at 200,000 pesos.
