Dominican Republic attempted feminicide case

Overview

In the Dominican Republic, a court has ordered three months of preventive prison for Florencio Lorenzo Lorenzo following an attempted aggravated feminicide in the Los Guandules sector.

According to the Public Ministry, the incident involved an attack on a woman, identified as Y. S. or Yaritza Sosa, during which the suspect allegedly struck her in the head with a hammer and attempted to strangle her. Authorities reported that the suspect used a cloth soaked in formaldehyde to prevent the victim from seeking help. During a search of the suspect’s vehicle, police seized a machete and a coffin, which the victim claims are connected to prior threats.

Recent judicial developments indicate the attack occurred during a dispute over mobile phone access. Lorenzo Lorenzo was arrested in flagrante delicto following police intervention during the assault.
