Josnely Álvarez's father has blamed judicial authorities after the 13-year-old's body was discovered on Tuesday afternoon in Navarrete, Santiago province, arguing that the suspect should have remained in prison.
The discovery followed a search near the Yaque del Norte River after Josnely disappeared on Sunday. Her father claimed that Edwin Reinaldo Rodríguez Cruz, who is now in custody in connection with the case, had previously been imprisoned and that a longer sentence could have prevented her death.
