“It must be some evil spirit, some demon, because I am a Christian who serves the Lord. I would be incapable of carrying the head of my six-year-old daughter.”
These are the words used by military doctor Ana Josefa García Cuello, accused of killing and then decapitating her six-year-old daughter in the Los Trinitarios sector of Santo Domingo Este.
The woman complained that the bus in which she was taken to the court where she would be subjected to coercive measures did not have air conditioning and her hands had been pressed with handcuffs.
“There is no air conditioning here, look at my sweat, my hands are purple because you put pressure on the handcuffs, I have difficulty breathing, I am asthmatic, I am telling you to please take me out to get some fresh air and to loosen the handcuffs,” said García Cuello.
The woman accused of murdering the girl said that she was praying with her children via Zoom with her pastor and that everything was recorded. She added that at that moment she entered “a dream with her children.”
Meanwhile, lawyer Anibal García, legal representative of the Army doctor, said that “she has mental problems.”
In addition to being a lawyer, he is also her uncle and after the Permanent Attention Office of Santo Domingo suspended the hearing, he said that “after the documents that support her mental state are presented, the judge will decide.”
