Woman Killed, Parents and Sister Held As Suspects
posted (November 21, 2018)
A 26 year old mother is dead tonight - and Police in Independence village have detained her sister, and her parents as suspects.

Last night, Keidi Yesenia Ramirez was taken in an unresponsive state to the Independence Polyclinic. She was pronounced dead and the Doctor showed police injuries to her neck, both hands and feet.

Police went to her home and spoke to her family and learned about the strange circumstances of her death. Reports form family members say there was an angry dispute, and Ramirez had allegedly been drinking. It seems that to restrain her, her own family tied her down, gagged, and possibly suffocated her.

Apparently, the family dispute with Ramirez was about her boyfriend, who is a 74 year old. Ramirez's family accused her of having a relationship behind his back, and threatened to expose her. This triggered a violent argument - and for reasons still not clear - the family chose to tie her down, and gag her.

Police are still gathering information and will have to ask the DPP's advice on what the charge should be, murder or manslaughter.
