Multiple deaths of missing persons in Dominican Republic

Overview

Between August 25 and August 31, at least four individuals reported missing were discovered dead in various locations across the Dominican Republic. The bodies were found in brushwood, a septic tank, and a wooded area in the municipality of Consuelo, San Pedro de Macorís.

One victim, Albert Jesús Aracena Núñez, was found buried in a hole in a forested area of Moca after being missing for 21 days. The National Institute of Forensic Sciences (Inacif) determined his cause of death was mechanical asphyxia, classifying it as a ‘violent death, of medico-legal homicide etiology.’ Four people, including a restaurant owner being investigated for concealing the body, were arrested in connection with this specific case.

On August 26, the body of 56-year-old Héctor Cedeño Ávila was located in a septic tank at a farm in the Villa Hermosa municipality, La Romana province. Preliminary reports suggest he may have also died from mechanical asphyxia.
