Santo Domingo prosecutors have released businessman Juan Carlos Lopez Alcantara, the main suspect in the murder of his former wife, 29-year old Yesenia Rivera Figuereo "due to lack of evidence to incriminate him." Rivera's relatives said they would continue to pursue the case against Lopez. The victim's father said they would accuse assistant prosecutor Maximo Diaz for being biased in favor of Lopez Alcantara, who they suspect was the mastermind behind the killing. Diaz said that the release does not mean that Lopez is guilty or innocent. Diaz told El Caribe reporters that Lopez Alcantara was left in the custody of an unnamed military official, who would serve as guarantor that the accused would appear in court as necessary.

Yesenia Rivera was murdered by a gunshot and her BMW vehicle was set ablaze on Avenida Venezuela on Tuesday evening. Rivera lived in Alma Rosa in eastern Santo Domingo. She returned to the DR two years ago to live with her two daughters and had complained to the authorities of harassment by Lopez Alcantara on eight occasions.
