The Dominican government has "energetically" condemned the beheadings of a Dominican and a Haitian in the Buenos Aires de Herrera sector of Santo Domingo over the weekend. In a letter to the Haitian government, the Dominican Foreign Ministry said that the event does not represent a policy of persecution against any person, whether Dominican or foreign. The event is an extreme, but rare case in the DR. Nevertheless, Haitian Foreign Minister Alrich Nicolas criticized the incident, saying it raises questions about the values of Dominican society.
Hoy, citing police information, reports that Haitian national Carlos Nerilus was lynched by a "crazed mob", and that onlookers recorded the murder with cell phone cameras and even applauded as it took place. Witnesses told Listin Diario that Nerilus decapitated builder Pascual Lara with an ax on Friday. The next day, Lara's neighbors sought out the Haitian suspect and decapitated him opposite their friend's wake. The Police say that Rusbelt de Leon Lara is the chief suspect in the Haitian's murder.
The Dominican government says it will investigate the case and track down the suspects.
