Relatives await the release of the body of a woman who died in her residence in San Antonio de Guerra

Santo Domingo. - Amidst the pain and consternation, family members of Odrina Natus, 24 years old, are waiting for the National Institute of Forensic Sciences (INACIF) to deliver the body and autopsy of the young woman who died in circumstances not yet clarified in the Nueva Jerusalén sector of San Antonio de Guerra. According to the deceased's mother, Jencula Mancelu, her daughter's partner, Bruny Job, arrived at her house around 5:00 in the morning last Monday with the tragic news. The family was celebrating the night before the birthday of Odrina's father and one of her daughters, who was only 3 years old, a party where they were happy and dancing.

"She was celebrating with her dad and they left at 3:00 AM, at 4:00 AM her husband called me saying she was dead. I am waiting to know what happened, what she died of, I still don't know what happened," the mother said. While the father asks for the corresponding investigations to be carried out and in case Odrina's partner has any responsibility, that justice be done. Brunny Job was arrested but released moments later due to lack of evidence pointing to him as the author of the young woman's death. A neighbor close to the family described Odrina as "a very cheerful woman", who always greeted the neighbors, and expressed her bewilderment by stating that she cannot understand how this tragedy occurred. The deceased's sister indicated that there was no problem between the couple and his relationship with the family members was always good. The family plans to give him a Christian burial on the afternoon of this Tuesday at the Cristo Salvador Cemetery in Santo Domingo Este.
