BANI.- Police gneral Rafael Bencosme Candelier, a member of the commission that investigates the August 4 death of seven Colombians in Paya, Bani, revealed that more civilians and military linked to the crime will be arrested.

He said all of the masterminds still haven’t been detained for the crime, in which so far almost 20 people, civilians and military, have already been arrested.

“We have successfully advanced and we have obtained the greater collaboration and integration with all Police and Armed Forces investigators, as well as the Dominican Government, to take this investigation until the ultimate consequences.”

Bencosme spoke Wednesday morning after leaving the office of the Peravia province prosecutor, where it went joined by Police chief Rafael Guzmán, to deliver the results of the investigation of the Navy officers and a petty officer  implicated in the murders.

Surley they all did not fire a weapon, lets see 6 shots each times 20 people is 120 cartriges divided by seven dead is a little over 17 bullets each. Didnt the original story say they were killed execution style.

What is the deal? All this investigation! because some hardcore criminals got killed. They should be protecting the good people of the Dominican Republic not wasting money and time on the death of trash.

The big BIG BIG question still remains:

Where is the alleged 15 million pesos that were missing?
Where is the 1300 kilos of coke in the truck that has vanished?

"That is the question" as Shakespeare would say.
