Santo Domingo.- A judge ordered preventive detention this Monday for two of five employees accused of the death of a infant one year and 10 months old, who allegedly died of drowning in a bucket while he was in a Center for Comprehensive Early Childhood Care (Caipi) in Pueblo Nuevo, in the city of San Francisco de Macoris (northeast).
Judge Dalvin López, of the Judicial Office of Permanent Attention Services of the Duarte province, issued two months of preventive detention against Rosmery Cross Olivo and Katerin Castaño Bautista, accused of being responsible for the death of Maikel Esmil Castro Álvarez.
While Carmerys Liriano de Candelier, administrative manager; Elena Hernández Muñoz, territorial technician; and Yanina Rojas Moronta, coordinator of the educational agent of the aforementioned Caipi, were favored with pure and simple freedom.

The accused’s lawyer did not agree with the judge’s decision, as he understood that he was influenced by media pressure and understands that the accusation presented by the body did not entail applying a coercive measure consisting of deprivation of liberty.
