Arellys Mercado’s mother, Nitza Ríos, has demanded justice after the release of Jensen Molina, accused of committing the crime, at Christmas.
“He will have the blessing of spending Christmas with his family, his parents will be able to hug him, but […] We are not on the same level, I will not be able to hug my daughter “, said Ríos in an audio presentation on Telenoticias.
Similarly, she has appeared confident in the judicial process and is full of hope.
“Despite the fact that I forgave him, I demand justice, he must pay for what he did,” Ríos said.
Molina was released yesterday, Friday, but will be in handcuffs and will not be able to leave her house without a special permit, the Fajardo district prosecutor explained.
In addition, Molina has a bond of 200 thousand USD.
Mercado was killed on August 18, 2019 at the Villa Marina dock in Fajardo.
“Everything was on the 18th, she was born on the 18th and her life was taken on the 18th and she is released on the 18th,” Ríos said.
