Dominican Republic's Justice System on Trial in Retrial of British Author's Murder

Lindsay de Feliz, a 64-year-old British expat, was strangled in December 2019 and buried near her home. Her husband and three other men now face retrial in the Dominican Republic, six years after her body was found. The case tests whether the country can deliver credible outcomes in high-profile cases involving foreign nationals—scrutiny that extends beyond one family as the nation faces broader questions about rule of law and judicial consistency.
