Santo Domingo.<\/strong> – Consternation and pain engulf the neighbors and relatives of Pennsylvania Mercedes Jim\u00e9nez Valdez, 36 years old, who on Sunday night allegedly poisoned her three children, aged 11, 9 and 7, and then ingested the same substance in an incident that occurred in the Ensanche Isabelita sector, Santo Domingo Este.<\/p>\n

According to the testimonies, the woman maintained a conflictive relationship with her partner, marked by jealousy. Omar Cabrera, the victim’s brother-in-law, reported that this situation was recurrent.<\/p>\n

“He was jealous of her with her sister, with her nephews, if he was a man he was looking for women. I didn’t come here for that, because I saw her attitude and didn’t want problems. She even hit him, she was too jealous, and a jealous woman you know what she’s capable of doing,” Cabrera expressed.<\/p>\n

The witness stated that before the event there was an argument motivated by jealousy and that the woman had even gone armed with a knife to her partner’s workplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is alive because he didn’t drink the juice, because she poisoned him and he didn’t go near her. She wasn’t very honest; he never told me because he was afraid,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Some neighbors claimed they never intervened in the situation for fear of retaliation.<\/p>\n

“There are many things that stay behind the wall that are in front,” commented one of them.<\/p>\n

Regarding the supposed letter that was mentioned in unofficial versions, family members and community members expressed doubts.<\/p>\n

“I don’t believe in that letter thing, the neighborhood knows what happened. She herself went looking for him that day,” said a close associate.<\/p>\n

Neighbors also described the woman as confrontational and possessive. A resident identified as Lesli Sare narrated that she came to feel harassed by her.<\/p>\n

“Especially with me, she pursued me, said many nasty things to me, threatened me. She also had problems with other neighbors. I once asked her what I had done to her and she couldn’t answer me,” he said.<\/p>\n

The tragedy has generated shock in the community, where an atmosphere of mourning and disbelief was maintained this Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
