Woman attacked in La Vega had a prior order against her attacker

Nayely Altagracia Capellán was the victim of a severe physical assault in La Vega, Dominican Republic. The incident is described by her mother as the culmination of a history of abuse and threats within the victim's relationship with her partner.

In 2023, the victim's family sought intervention from the local prosecutor's office, resulting in the issuance of a restraining order against the aggressor. Despite this legal measure, the victim and the aggressor resumed their relationship prior to the recent attack.
