Several arrests in death of Pascual "Cuta" Perez
He left five children; the eldest, Pascual Junior, was signed as a pitcher
San Gregorio de Nigua. The National Police reported that it has arrested more than ten persons for investigation in relation to the murder of the former major league pitcher, Pascual "Cuta" Perez, 56.
The preliminary report from Doctor Belica Nivar says that the body of "Cuta" presented severe blows to the head and a knife wound on the left side of his head that reached the neck.
Yesterday, the victim's brother, Vladimir Perez, said that the former pitcher for the Aguilas Cibaeñas and the Tigres del Licey in the local baseball circuit, was suffering from a terminal illness and underwent dialysis three times a week.
Perez walked with a lot of difficulty and his right arm was placed in a sling and he could no longer move it.
Melido Perez, another of his brothers, and mayor of the municipality, regretted the crime and called for the Police to provide protection for citizens in the face of the wave of crime that is affecting them.
In a like manner, the pitcher Carlos Perez recalled how three nights ago a man tried to get into his house and "I did not kill him so as not to sully our honor and damage the image of the Perez family."
Perez' body was discovered by his former wife, Maritza Montero, who said that at nine o'clock on Wednesday night she had left him watching a baseball game between the Tigres del Licey and the Estrellas Orientales.
"Cuta's" killers entered the house through a window and reached the bedroom where he was asleep and killed him with hammers and machetes.
It seems that they were looking for money because the drawers of his nightstand were all torn up and it gives the impression, according to the investigators, that the former ballplayer tried to defend himself and probably knew his killers.
The investigation into the care are being led by generals Ney Aldrin Almonte, the director of the Criminal Intelligence Center (Dintel), and Maximo Baez Aybar, the director of the DICRIM.
The remains of the former New York Yankee pitcher will be mourned at the municipal funeral parlor and buried there.
