00:10Congratulations, give me 30 minutes and a lot more and I will introduce you to the country and the rest of the world.
00:18Friends, the criminal court of the first instance of the province of Altagracia
00:24welcomed today the action of Avias Corpus requested by the lawyers of Joshua Steven Rive.
00:31Last person to see and share with the young Indian tourist, Sudhikasha Konanki,
00:38locked up since March 6 at the Hotel Rio Punta Cana.
00:43Let's go live with journalist Fabiola Nunez.
00:47She is in Altagracia and has more details of everything that has happened on this day.
00:53Fabiola, good evening, welcome.
01:01Thank you, Roberto, good evening.
01:04The court welcomed Avias Corpus and returned freedom to Joshua Steven Rive,
01:11who will be able to move forward without any restriction and freely, but in the country.
01:18Next, we present you with an extended summary of everything that happened
01:23during the hearing held in this palace of justice of the province of Altagracia.
01:30Let's see.
01:34Joshua Steven Rive arrived at the palace of justice of the Altagracia
01:38with his lawyers and his father.
01:40He immediately entered the facilities.
01:43From two in the afternoon, Judge Edwis Rijo started the hearing.
01:52After listening to the defense, the lawyers of the institutions
01:56and the public ministry, finally the magistrate Rijo made his decision.
02:02In his motivation, he recognized the right of the public ministry
02:06to investigate the disappearance of Sudish Kakonanki.
02:09However, the young man also has the power to move and mobilize
02:14in the Dominican Republic without the need to be guarded.
02:18However, the judge rejected the request of the defense that his passport be returned to him.
02:33Whether foreign or national, they must live in a climate of peace,
02:36always respecting the national laws.
02:39On the other hand, the lawyers thanked the Dominican justice
02:43and the investigative bodies for respecting the fundamental rights of their client.
02:48We firmly believe in the importance of preserving the rule of law,
02:51not only as an essential principle of justice,
02:53but also as a fundamental pillar for the confidence of our institutions
02:58and the image of our valuable tourist industry.
03:02We recognize the professional and courteous treatment
03:06provided by the public ministry to our representatives
03:10during all this process, despite the restrictions
03:13to which it was subjected irregularly until today.
03:17While the public ministry qualified the decision as positive,
03:21by pointing out that the Dominican authorities have never arrested Joshua.
03:26The public ministry has not violated the rights of anyone.
03:29Okay.
03:31Okay.
03:52This is incredibly difficult for us to process.
04:00The Dominican authorities have deployed a series of resources
04:03to find the whereabouts of the foreigner without success so far.
04:08Even the Attorney General of the Republic, Jenny Berenice Reynoso,
04:13moved to the Hotel Rio Republic
04:15to lead the investigations and interrogations of Joshua Reeb.
04:24Roberto, I would also like to highlight that the full reading of this case
04:29was scheduled for March 28 at 9 a.m.
04:34For now, this is all the information I have.
04:36If you have any questions about this process carried out here today, I am listening.
04:41Fabiola, I wanted to ask you if the young Joshua
04:46had had the opportunity to speak before the judge.
04:49It had been commented on these days that prior statements or prior interrogations
04:55had been complicated.
04:58A translator was needed to be understood well.
05:01He was able to speak.
05:02What was he able to speak today in front of the judge?
05:07That's right, Roberto.
05:08As you said, Joshua was able to defend himself,
05:12which we could say, in front of the court.
05:15There, he explained all the processes that have taken place
05:19during his stay in this hotel,
05:21indicating that even for breakfast,
05:25going to the beach,
05:27all the time that has lasted there in this hotel
05:30has been with the presence of police officers
05:34who have been with him all the time.
05:38He also explained that even before leaving,
05:43when the Konanki parents left the country,
05:46returning to the United States,
05:48he had had the opportunity to speak with them.
05:52There, they hugged each other.
05:55He said in front of the court that the parents also thanked him
05:59for trying to save his daughter on the first occasion,
06:03according to the story he told the prosecutors,
06:06and that they hugged each other during a very emotional moment in the hotel lobby.
06:12He also explained that since he thought,
06:15from the moment his phone and passport were confiscated,
06:19he thought that later they would return it to his country,
06:24but that was not the case.
06:26In addition, another important fact that he gave
06:29is that he only wants to return to his country,
06:33hug his family,
06:34and also that he wants to collaborate with this investigation
06:38carried out by the Public Prosecutor's Office,
06:40but for the moment he can do nothing but sit down and wait,
06:44and only then wait for another prosecutor to question him.
06:50There is a topic with the father.
06:54For the first time, the father was seen in the audience.
06:57I even think that the Public Prosecutor's Office,
07:00one of the things they asked was for the man to validate that he was Joshua's father.
07:06What did the father say to the judge?
07:08How did he react when he saw the situation with his son?
07:15Well, Roberto, the father, Mr. Robert,
07:18was questioned by the defense bar.
07:22He was presented as a witness before the court.
07:26There he had the opportunity to assure that he had returned to the country
07:30on the pretext that he had no communication with his son Joshua,
07:34on the pretext that his cell phone was confiscated,
07:38as well as the retention of his passport.
07:40He said that he would not leave the country
07:43until he could take his son with him.
07:47Within the replies made by the Public Prosecutor's Office,
07:53he said that the defense lawyers presented as evidence
07:58Mr. Robert's passport, as well as Joshua's driver's license.
08:03But the Public Prosecutor's Office said
08:06that the defense lawyers did not even present a birth certificate
08:11to certify that Mr. Robert is Joshua's father.
08:15Therefore, this evidence was refuted before the court.
08:19But yes, as you said, he had the opportunity to speak before the court
08:23and defend his son and also say that he would not return to his country
08:27unless he went with his son to the United States.
08:31Fabiola, one last question.
08:34Until now, the young Joshua was in the hotel, the Riu,
08:42supposedly as a witness and preserved there,
08:49covering the costs of that stay by the Public Prosecutor's Office.
08:55In any case, the Abias Corpus already favored him,
08:58he can move wherever he wants.
09:00It was known if he will leave the hotel,
09:03who will cover his stay, because if they don't give him the passport,
09:07how is he going to live here if he does not have a residence?
09:12Will it be his family who covers the hotel?
09:15Will it continue to be the Public Prosecutor's Office?
09:17What has been said?
09:20Well, so far, according to what has been transmitted during the hearing,
09:25it was said that even, as the Public Prosecutor's Office advances,
09:28who is taking charge, who is paying the hotel where the host is,
09:33there would then be to wait.
09:35We have obtained the contacts of their lawyers
09:38to then inquire with them to see what would be the next step,
09:42if they are going to leave the hotel.
09:45It is also good to point out that within the solicitation of Joshua's lawyers,
09:50in the first instance they had requested about $30,000 of $500,000
09:55for each day that the court, that the authorities did not receive
10:02what they were in principle asking of the court.
10:05However, later they excluded the hotel from this request.
10:09So that means that they also want to leave out
10:13the hotel of any implication in what has been seen
10:17wrapped up by the young Joshua.
10:19As I was saying, we have obtained one of the contacts of the lawyers
10:23and then later we would try to inquire with them
10:26to see what would be the next step.
10:28So it is expected that he can now circulate freely throughout the country.
10:34Well, I assume that then later they will be able to leave.
10:39It is also good to emphasize, Roberto, that within Joshua's statements
10:44he said that a meeting they had at the American embassy,
10:49not even that day they were able to leave the hotel
10:52to hold this meeting at the American embassy
10:55on the grounds of these investigations.
10:58That despite the fact that his father had notified him,
11:02however, they were not able to leave the hotel.
11:05So it is expected that as a result of this decision
11:09we are then waiting for what will happen to him
11:12and if he will then leave the hotel and what would be the next steps.
11:17Yes, Fabiola, thank you.
11:19Thank you, Bill.
11:20Excellent report, complete report in broad coverage of Fabiola Núñez
11:25live from Altagracia
11:28with the purpose of the knowledge today of the request of Avias Corpus
11:33for the young American Joshua Stephen Reeve
11:40linked to the loss or absence of the young Indian
11:48at the Hotel Rio Punta Cana in the east of the country.
11:53Friends, in emotional and psychological terms,
11:58why have you taken the parents of Sudhikasha Konanki
12:06to ask the Dominican authorities to declare her deceased
12:11by not giving her whereabouts?
12:13Paola Mateo spoke with a psychiatrist with a long history
12:18and with a specialist psychologist in mourning
12:20who explained the possible reasons
12:23that could have led to this request of the parents.
12:41Psychiatrist Luis Vergés said that one of the possible explanations
12:45of the request of the family of the American student
12:48is that the disappearance in Punta Cana is a possible emotional wear.
12:53People tend to wear emotionally with something that generates a lot of despair
13:00and that combination of emotional wear and despair
13:04can result in a request like this.
13:08The feeling of helplessness, not having a clue
13:14that can generate the rehabilitation of optimism
13:19in terms of a possible appearance,
13:22are very human elements that we have to respect
13:26in the case of the rhythm of those who are experiencing
13:30this event so hard for a family like what has happened there.
13:35While the specialist psychologist in mourning, Catherine Lloberes,
13:39said it could be a defense mechanism in the midst of her loss.
13:43The need to be able to connect with their pain in an intimate way.
13:48Privacy in mourning is very important
13:51and the truth is that when there is a topic like this
13:54that has already been done from the public eye,
13:56there are many questions, there are many questions
13:58and this type of movement interrupts the path of pain.
14:03Mourning means pain, this is very personal.
14:06When a person has a loss, it is as personal as the fingerprint.
14:10Both specialists of mental health and family well-being
14:14agreed that this type of mourning is more difficult to go through
14:18because there is no closure or farewell.
14:21Our brain has the tendency and the need to make closure
14:25and when there is no process where you saw the corpse,
14:29where you saw the process of the funeral
14:32and there is an object where you have the opportunity
14:35to do the farewell ritual, it is a little more difficult
14:39because that brain that needs that closure,
14:42needs to see that it concluded something,
14:44is not seeing that it concluded.
14:46We must also expand that accompaniment a little
14:50and understand that there is a need for social and cultural accompaniment
14:55and when I say social and cultural,
14:57it is that the feelings of this family are more respected.
15:01Notice that the media narrative has been loaded with a lot of mourning,
15:06of many messages that do not help this family in their recovery.
15:11So we have to take that into consideration,
15:14be as empathetic as possible and ask ourselves
15:18what would happen if something like that happened to us.
15:21It is remembered that the parents of the American student
15:24who disappeared in Punta Cana,
15:26asked the authorities through a letter
15:29to declare the young woman as deceased.
15:32Surviving her grief was one of the reasons raised in the letter.
15:36For Telenoticias, Paola Mateo.
15:39Friends, a new turn, perhaps a little disconcerting,
15:43has given the search of the young Indian Konanki
15:50to her parents to send this letter,
15:53asking to officially declare this young woman,
15:57who is now 12 days pregnant, dead.
16:00As Ana Mañón tells us,
16:02several lawyers consulted by Telenoticias
16:05indicate that this request has no legal validity
16:09before the Dominican laws.
16:13The official request of the parents of the young Indian tourist,
16:16her disk Konanki, disappeared on March 6
16:20on a beach in Punta Cana,
16:22to officially declare her deceased is not possible.
16:25This is because the Dominican laws do not contemplate it according to jurists.
16:30The declaration, for example, of the absence of a person,
16:34that is provided in the civil code
16:37from articles 112 to 140,
16:41but that does not apply to the case of that missing North American,
16:46where that is even a civil procedure
16:51that must be declared her absence
16:55after a period of four years.
16:59But the simple fact that the parents have asked
17:03to declare her death,
17:07that has no legal validity before the Dominican law.
17:12Until there is an objective, true and true investigation,
17:17it cannot be ruled out that she appears healthy and safe.
17:22The deceased cannot be declared, because there is still evidence of that,
17:25but at least she disappeared, legally yes.
17:28They also stated that it generates some suspicion
17:31the hasty request of the parents of the tourist
17:34just 12 days after her disappearance,
17:36in which there is no certainty of what really happened to her.
17:40Either the parents have very little affection for that young woman,
17:45or the parents are waiting to receive a huge amount of money
17:50from the life insurance of that young woman.
17:52It is strange that the same families want to declare her deceased.
17:55Why deceased? If they are still looking for her.
17:58This Tuesday, the spokesman for the National Police,
18:01Diego Pesqueira, confirmed the veracity of the letter,
18:04which was sent from the province of Altagracia to his office
18:08and submitted to the Public Ministry.
18:11The National Police, through a major of the jurisdiction of Altagracia,
18:19received this communication,
18:22sent by the parents of this young woman who is missing.
18:28While the consulted lawyers agreed that the Public Ministry
18:33has the power to continue with the investigations
18:36when it comes to a public action case
18:39and in case a crime is proven,
18:41to request preventive detention against the main suspect,
18:45the American Joshua Steven Wright.
18:48For Telenoticias, Ana Mañón.
18:52...news on this stellar show.
18:54Let's go to Montecristo, where relatives and friends
18:57of a fisherman on the beach of Buen Hombre
19:01reported that Cuba has supposedly detained a family member
19:10for more than seven years,
19:12for which they claim the help of President Abinader
19:15to channel his freedom and return.
19:18But how did this Dominican fisherman arrive in Cuba?
19:22What do his children say today?
19:24Goydi Reyes tells us more.
19:27Welcome back, Gregorio!
19:29Relatives of the fisherman Gregorio Gómez,
19:33who managed to survive after falling into the sea
19:36and arriving in Cuba swimming,
19:38expect the Dominican government to manage his release
19:42after having been detained in the Cuban country for more than seven years.
19:48He was fishing and the tide was high
19:53and he fell off the boat.
19:55He was resting.
19:56He fell last night.
19:58And as a personal experience, he swam for three days
20:02and that was the closest island I could find.
20:05The Cuban island.
20:07I ask the president to help us as much as he can
20:12because he has been in prison for eight years.
20:14He is a man who, as he tells me,
20:17has many health problems.
20:20He told me that his eye was turning off
20:23and that the doctor is in a lot of struggle.
20:26Yes, we have called on the government
20:29to be aware that he is a Dominican
20:36who needs to be at home
20:38and that his health is a little complicated, as I told you,
20:42and we need a doctor to see him and take care of him as he should.
20:47Faced with the health complications that the fisherman presents,
20:51his children long to see their father again
20:55before he dies in a Cuban prison.
20:59When he disappeared, I was seven years old
21:03and now I am 18 years old.
21:06And that is a lot of time that we have without seeing him
21:12and we need him.
21:13My father was fishing
21:16and he has been in prison for eight years.
21:18We want to know if you can help us
21:21so that we can bring him back to our country
21:23because we need him and he is too old.
21:28I want them to help him to get out of this
21:31because I have a lot that I don't see
21:34and my biggest wish and desire would be to see him.
21:38For Telenoticias, I'm Goydi Reyes.
21:42Friend, a distressed mother asks for help from the authorities
21:47due to the violence she suffers at the hands of her own son
21:52who is less than 11 years old.
21:55The fact took place in the sector in San Chemella I
21:58in the Municipal District of Santiago Oeste in Santiago.
22:02Anelio Domínguez, our man of news, talked to this mother.
22:07According to Rosa Domínguez's statements,
22:10the mother of the 11-year-old explained
22:13the problematic behavior of her son
22:16where he started missing school
22:18and that at that time he wandered the streets.
22:21In the short time he spent at home,
22:24he physically attacked his mother
22:26and threatened his sisters with blows.
22:29He was already the last one. He didn't want to go to school.
22:32He didn't want to go to school.
22:34He hardly ate at home because he spent the whole day walking.
22:38I lived in the parks looking for him.
22:41Day and night in the parks.
22:43There were two occasions when he got lost
22:46and I had to go to the neighborhood to present a photo of him
22:49to see if he could show up.
22:51Rosa hopes that the authorities can provide
22:53a psychological follow-up for her son.
22:56But now what I want is to give the child follow-up.
23:00Treat him as a psychologist or whatever,
23:02to see what happens to him.
23:04Because, in addition, the situation worries me
23:06that he is not with me.
23:07It doesn't mean that there is already danger.
23:09It is assumed that we have to see what happens to the child
23:13because he got into that situation, so unknown.
23:16Rosa has expressed her frustration
23:18with the aggressiveness of her son
23:20and on several occasions she has been forced
23:22to request the intervention of a police patrol
23:25in order to be able to control the situation with her son.
23:29I would never have done this,
23:31but always for the first time.
23:33I am poor, humbly, as one says.
23:35I have needs because I have a daughter
23:38who does not allow me to work, who is special.
23:41I can't leave that girl to anyone for me to work.
23:44She has her father, but his father
23:46solves what he creates for me.
23:48And the situation is very difficult
23:50when it comes to a special child.
23:52He comes out very expensive, very expensive in everything.
23:54After Rosa Dominguez shared her concern
23:57on social media through a video,
24:00the father of the minor appeared
24:02and took the child to live with his paternal grandmother.
24:06From Santiago for Telenoticias, Onelio Dominguez.
24:10Friends, the relatives of a mother and daughter
24:15who died at the hands of a second lieutenant
24:19of the National Police in Las Vegas
24:21gathered today outside the Palace of Justice
24:25of that demarcation to seek an answer
24:31to the atrocities of this murder
24:36that has been unanswered for two months.
24:39Ana Mendes worked on the subject.
24:45For the death of Maricela Rodríguez Marte, 51,
24:49and Meiling Ariadne Marte Rodríguez, 26,
24:52ex-partner of the alleged aggressor,
24:54the second lieutenant of the National Police,
24:57Juan Luis Jiménez Adames, 41,
25:00who is still a fugitive from justice.
25:03After two months of the double murder,
25:05the relatives of the victim gathered again
25:08on this Tuesday afternoon,
25:10with signs containing messages alluding to their demand
25:13in the front of the Palace of Justice of Las Vegas,
25:16carrying out a peaceful protest
25:18to call the attention of the police authorities.
25:21In the fight against this criminal,
25:25the police are not going to do anything.
25:27No one has called us,
25:30no one has approached us and said,
25:32look, tell us, we can give you an answer,
25:35this has happened with the prosecution.
25:37We will support the peaceful protests of society,
25:40not only in this case, but in all the cases
25:43that take place here in the Dominican Republic.
25:45If they don't solve the case in five days,
25:48we will be setting up a camp in front of the barracks
25:52until the police solve it and the public prosecutor.
25:56Among the protesters were friends
25:59close to the victims,
26:01who assured that they would not rest
26:03until the person responsible for the death of their relatives
26:06faces justice.
26:08If there is no answer, there will be candles here.
26:11It is remembered that Jiménez Adames,
26:13apart from the atrocious crime he allegedly committed,
26:16also caused injuries by firearm
26:18to a man identified as Franklin Ruiz Hinoa,
26:2141 years of age,
26:23who was at the time of the event,
26:25while the entity of the order
26:27had reported that he worked diligently
26:30with the Public Prosecutor's Office
26:32to capture the involved and subject him to justice.
26:35For Telenoticias, Ana Méndez.
26:38The president of the community tables
26:41of the People's Defense and Human Rights
26:44visited the penitentiary of Samaná today
26:47to investigate the murder of a man and a woman
26:50last Sunday.
27:16Enrique Marte Taveras and Nairobi King
27:19died inside a prison room
27:22in Samaná dedicated to conjugal visits.
27:27Friends, the Ministry of Public Health
27:29ordered today the voluntary withdrawal
27:32of cosmetic products
27:34of the brand La Roche-Posay L'Oreal
27:38in the Dominican Republic,
27:40reporting on the possible cross-contamination
27:43with benzoyl peroxide,
27:45a carcinogenic substance
27:48in humans.
27:49Gregory González tells us more.
27:53The measure of the General Direction
27:55of Medicines, Food and Health Products
27:58of Public Health responds to a notification
28:01of El O'Neill, United States,
28:03through the distributor Oscar Arrenta Negron,
28:07indicating that it contains benzene,
28:10a chemical compound used in the chemical
28:13and pharmaceutical industry,
28:15identified by the International Agency
28:18for Cancer Research
28:20as a carcinogenic substance in humans.
28:23Regarding this, we talked to
28:25dermatologist Daniel Pérez Jaramillo,
28:28who said that these products are very effective.
28:31If you don't have these creams inside the car
28:33or next to your kitchen,
28:35these creams won't release benzene
28:37and won't cause cancer either.
28:39So, on your part, I don't worry.
28:41The Ministry of Public Health
28:43ordered the withdrawal of the products
28:45Effaclar 3-Step Sipstan
28:47and Effaclar Duo Benzoly
28:49Peroxido Acne Treatment,
28:51used in the treatment
28:53located for acne
28:55that contains 5.5%
28:57benzoyl peroxide,
28:59an antibacterial ingredient
29:01that fights parasites,
29:03which contributes to the formation
29:05of pimples and pimples.
29:07It also includes niacinamide,
29:10which helps calm the skin
29:12and reduce redness.
29:14I would be more afraid,
29:16listen to this, although it sounds logical,
29:18I would be more afraid of you consuming carbohydrates
29:20and sugar on a daily basis,
29:22because it has been shown that over time
29:24it lowers your defenses and can cause cancer.
29:26Laboratories and distributors
29:28have a period of 15 days
29:30to withdraw these products
29:32from the Dominican market
29:34from the National District.
29:36For Telenoticias,

29:40Friends, Yulexi Quevedo Pérez,
29:42a young woman of 30 years of age,
29:44an accounting student
29:46at OIM University,
29:48weighs
29:50almost 500 pounds
29:52and because of this weight
29:54or overweight,
29:56she has a critical health situation
29:58that generates
30:00venous insufficiency
30:02with bladders
30:04in her legs.
30:06This has kept her
30:08in bed for more
30:10than four years.
30:12Santiago Drullar knew of this case
30:14and visited her.
30:16The lack of circulation
30:18in her legs has caused
30:20severe bladders
30:22and during the treatment
30:24of these, the drugs
30:26generated a hormonal disorder
30:28that has led to her body weight
30:30of almost 500 pounds.
30:32A month ago,
30:34Dr. Berman
30:36told me that
30:38I have ulcers
30:40in my legs
30:42and that's why
30:44my ulcer scars
30:46don't heal.
30:48He told me that
30:50I had to get surgery
30:52and that I needed
30:54a bariatric surgery
30:56because of my
30:58overweight.
31:00In this scenario,
31:02Yulexi's family
31:04asked for the help
31:06of supportive people
31:08who can contribute
31:10to costear a bariatric surgery,
31:12the only viable alternative
31:14at the moment
31:16so that she can recover
31:18her adequate weight
31:20and can treat
31:22her venous insufficiency
31:24effectively.
31:26When I started with the problem,
31:28I was in college,
31:30I was studying
31:32and I needed help
31:34because this is not about aesthetics,
31:36this is about health.
31:38Who can help me
31:40so that I can get my bariatric surgery
31:42and be able to operate
31:44and get out of this?
31:46I have been in this condition
31:48for almost 6 years.
31:50They also explain that every 15 days
31:52they have to buy medication
31:54whose cost exceeds $20,000
31:56to fight the bacteria
31:58in their legs,
32:00my husband works day and night
32:02just for the medication.
32:04We don't even have money
32:06to start
32:08because she has government insurance
32:10and that doesn't cover bariatrics.
32:12So I want them to help me,
32:14these powerful people
32:16who have money.
32:18Despite this situation,
32:20the young woman says she does not lose hope
32:22of returning to her normal life
32:24and finishing her
32:26university studies.
32:28Those who wish to collaborate
32:30with Yulessi Quevedo-Perez
32:32can contact their family
32:34to provide support
32:36in this difficult time.
