Dominican housekeeper Mercedes Carvajal, who witnessed the shooting in Bani, told Diario Libre that the claim that drug enforcement authorities were involved in the murders is not far off. Carvajal says that around 10pm on Tuesday night, seven unknown men arrived at the home in Paya. The men were dressed in Drug Control Department (DNCD) vests and urged the victims to get the shipment of drugs. No one has been arrested for the murders, but this is one lead for police officials to follow.
In the course of their investigations, officials have found three nine-millimeter guns, two Pietro Barettas and a Jericho, five cellular phones, two radios, a Ford F-150 truck, a Hyundai Veracruz and a Toyota Fortuner at the traffickers' residence.
The house used to belong to Italian national Jorge Maniguetti, who is married to a former Drug Control Department (DNCD) president's daughter. Diario Libre reports that Maniguetti purchased the house from an ex-general and then sold it to Colombian Jesus David del Rio Hans. Diario Libre added that Maniguetti, who has other business holdings in Bani, had entered into business deals with the victims, totaling over US$300,000.
DNCD president Rafael Ramirez says the killings are typical drug-related murders and could be the result of not paying a debt or settling of accounts between drug dealers.
