San Juan de la Maguana.- The Collegiate Court of San Juan sentenced a man to 30 years in prison for having killed another man in the middle of an argument over change from the victim after sending the perpetrator to buy some beers for 2,000 pesos.
The file, prepared by the investigating prosecutor Gabriel Suero Moquete, details that everything happened in a liquor store for some beers that the victim, identified as Ronny Alcántara Paniagua, ordered to be bought with the defendant, Joel Cabrera Ramírez, handing over the sum of 2,000 pesos and when he asked him for the return of the money an argument arose.
The San Juan de la Maguana Prosecutor’s Office managed to get the Court to hand down a 30-year sentence against Cabrera Ramírez, for the acts committed against Alcántara Paniagua, in November 2020, in the municipality of Juan de Herrera.
The investigation reveals that after the argument, Cabrera Ramírez went to his residence where he took a knife and returned to the establishment, where he attacked the victim and stabbed him several times, which subsequently caused his death.
The sentence was handed down by judges Diogenes Damaso, Viamerca Ruiz and Sally Gonzalez.
During the trial, the Public Prosecutor’s Office, represented by the litigating prosecutor Hernanda Arias, demonstrated before the Court with sufficient evidence the criminal responsibility of the now convicted person, for having violated articles 295, 296, 297, 298 and 302 of the Dominican Penal Code, which typify and punish murder, as well as articles 83 and 86 of Law 631-16, for the Control and Regulation of Weapons, Ammunition and Related Materials.
The sentence must be served by the accused in the San Juan de la Maguana Public Prison.
