A perturbed 36-year old man from Santiago threw his 5-year old son off Duarte Bridge and then jumped off Duarte Bridge (a height equivalent to 10 floors) yesterday, killing himself. Jose Ambiorix Germosen Diaz died of contussions when he fell on pavement off the Avenida Francisco Rosario Sanchez, several meters away from the Ozama River. The son died when he fell right into a two meter hole, dug for a electricity pole, as reported in the Listin Diario.
Reports are that he was suffering from depression motivated by the separation from his wife. In the pocket of the pants of his corpse, rescue staff found a court order dated 8 March for a meeting to discuss the maintenance payments for his son, biblical quotes and lyrics of romantic bolero songs.
The mother, Mirna Duran, said the tragedy could have been avoided. She said she denounced that her husband had kidnapped the child. She said the Police did not act on her complaint that sthe child was missing for four days. She also accused the relatives of her former spouse for complicity because they refused to tell about the whereabouts of their relative.
Nevertheless, she told Hoy that despite the legal case for maintenance payments for the child, they had good relations and the father visited their home.
A neighbor said that Germosen Diaz was not a violent person. He attributed the problems to the man having lost his job in a free zone two years ago and his never getting over the separation from his spouse. The mother is a secretary.
