Three suspected criminals were lynched by mobs in Santiago during the last 48 hours, according to the police. The three men were identified as Junior Rafael Fernandez, Edwin Vasquez and Henry Rafael Lopez Garcia, who died in separate incidents as a result of the wounds they received.
As reported in Hoy newspaper, the three were shot, stabbed and beaten after being caught allegedly committing crimes in different parts of Santiago. The police also reported that two men in Villa Gonzalez barely escaped with their lives after being chased by neighbors. Both men, who have not been identified by police, are now in the Jose Maria Cabral y Baez Hospital in Santiago. Santiago prosecutor Raul Martinez deplored the situation and said that the police and the judicial authorities should get together to create a more efficient justice system that keeps criminals off the streets. The chief of police, Major General Rafael Guillermo Guzman Fermin recently attributed the recent spate of lynchings to the impunity with which criminals are treated by the justice system, and not because of a supposed negligence on the part of the police department.
Listin Diario says that the two men in Villa Gonzalez robbed a man of his gold chain and were chased down the highway to Ingenio Abajo where they were surrounded and beaten. They were saved due to the intervention of the police.
