Santo Domingo.- Three foreigners, including 10 year old girl, were found dead in Sosua, northern Puerto Plata province, in what Police say was a murder-suicide.

The bodies of the victims were found in the residencial Casa Linda, in Sosua, where reportedly the German man was found hanging, and the Venezuelan woman and her daughter had sings of strangulation.

The authorities said it was a murder suicide, but there’s been no official statement.

The German reportedly also shot his wife several times, and then his daughter, a dog and a cat.

with a police force ranked 142 in the planet, the last place in the planet, even savage countries in africa have a better police force than the one DR has, its not wonder this type of stuff happens, and it all is the gov fault, since they pay cops only 132 dollars a month, its no wonder they have to live off of bribes from criminals whenever criminals want cops to look the other way. sad storry though

This was a MURDER-SUICIDE in the private home of a family not. Nothing to do with tourists or tourism. It is still very sad but has nothing to do with the Dominican Republic. This happens in EVERY country. So sorry to hear of this news.

danny you say that your daughters are being educated in the DR ,,if you regard the country so badly why do you educate them here ??
Maybe you should look at the suicide rates in the world and you would see that the DR is way down the bottom of the list

It is great!

Especially with the clean up of the streets going on now. Feel safer there now.

I was there in July and had another great time. Went to Puerto Plata on a Sunday and really enjoyed it. The cafeteria at La Sirena has the best habichuela and roast pork I have ever tasted, LOL.

Going back in October for another couple weeks. I hope to finally make it to Santiago - like I keep saying I am going to do, LMAO

Sounds like he felt even the cat and dog knew he was getting played for they must have been witness to his wife shenanigans and decided they had to go too. The little girl def the innocent victim in all of this she had no choice in the matter of who her parents were.

The incident was a private matter within the family and had no dealings with tourism, the Dominican or the subdivision. Nor was this a security issue as he was a resident and not an outside intruder. Casa Linda has issued a short press release in which can be viewed here below:

I'm a homeowner in neighborhood where this event took place. The man who committed this crime was the home-owner of the residence (not a tourist) and also the husband and father of the family he murdered due to financial problems. This was a domestic situation that had nothing to do with the overall security of the community or the DR as a whole. It's very unfortunate, and my prayers go out to them.

getting as bad as Australia; here you kill old ladies ; take wife's income via the Child Support Agency; incite her to suicide then go to the DR to have sex with young girls laughing while your kids now half starve. LOOK AROUND YOU AT THE PIGS COMING TO YOUR COUNTRY

SOME CLARIFICATIONS:
1-The photo in the article is of the long ago closed hotel, not the private home where this occurred.

2- This is was a private family issue, in a private home that`s not for rent and has nothing to do with security, but a lot with the current worldwide economic crisis.

3- Security at Casa Linda is good, way too good in fact; I`ve rented there since 2004 and has never had any problems.

4- The Dominican Republic is far more secure than most other countries, there`s no terrorism, no guerillas, and most cases of violence against tourists are sex for pay or durg related.

5- People must show respect to a man that only left us with the impression that there`s little hope if any of us fall into sudden bankruptcy. Had there been a glimpse of hope in this mind that someone could`ve helped, he`d think it twice, don`t you think? START HELPING SOMEONE NOW.

You ain't seen nothing yet! THE PRIVATE FEDERAL RESERVE is bankrupting ALL COUNTRY including yours and inducing this behaviour to their utter delight. Been saying it for years and it is all coming true and YOU CANNOT CONTRADICT ME WITHOUT BEING WRONG. There will be be a depression far greater than the Great Depression. Your president and Obama are puppets.

@penny,
Please take your medication before returning to this site. I have met a few Australian men here and they are all gentlemen. Where does your stereotype come from - your sick imagination? Been missing out lately? Get a life!

The stimulous of the economies is not going to save them as the money has to be paid back; yes paid back by the elite owning the infrstructure of the countries and we all end up as slaves.AND MASSIVE MURDER SUICIDES AS THIS MAN DID.And the Child Support Agency is one way that has been around for a while and caused massive amounts of suicides mainly in men but some men reverse it by lies to destroy women then come to third world countries to get easy sex with kids and young women.
.
I can get as many men as I want but no thanks as I prefer a moral life.

What the hell is PrettyMaria going on about? I am telling you what is going on in the world. All sovereign countries are targetted for ruin and bankruptcy.It is not by Australian men but men of no particular country but international bankers especially the Federal Reserve which is private.You can crap on all you like about medication but it will not change the truth we are facing the WORST DEPRESSION EVER. Suicides will be enormous as so many businesses are destroyed all around the world. The people in Wall Street should be at the Federal Reserve private bank to protest. THEY CONTROL AND MAKE THE FIAT MONEY.And documents have been disclosed re taking of individual's funds directly out of bank accounts to save the countries.

Uuhhh.. penny, the fed reserve is partial public/private....... It was created by the congress of the united states..........

Sorry my friend it is private and created by Woodruff Wilson's handler Mandle House in the middle of the night in 1913. Titanic, the unsinkable ship. had been destroyed on command of Jesuit Father Brown on April 10 so down with ship goes many of the invited guests such as the richest man in the world Lord Astor who would have so opposed the privatisation of the Fed Bank. The Rothschild had to get control of the banks in the US and most of the world.

Private private private and congress is the puppet of these 'Rothchild bastards as well.You leader is a puppet as well; disobey and he is dead.

And do you think there is any gold in Fort Knox? No it is fake.

The world economy is going to collapse and the worst depression ever.Have been saying it for years and we are on the cusp.

but then comes a "saviour".

This is being planned via the City of London headed by that reptile the British sovereign who wants to take over the world via the BIS in Switzerland including the US (private) Federal Reserve and after of course taking the creditors money will own just about all the assets in the world (forget your little domain ;you're easy).

This has been planned for years and even had a test run in Denmark.

All assets soon gone so those used to greedy lives get ready to suicide or be a slave. All the paeds hiding in the DR with money hidden in flase accounts you are going too (but you should be hung anyway)..

Try and trash me all you like; you will not win.
