<div>Dominican Republic authorities have detained at least eight people over the murder of a United State citizen who had worked as a teacher in the country for the past 15 years.<br />
The body of Patricia Ann Anton was found on Tuesday inside her apartment in the town of Cabarete, on the north side of the island.<br />
The former Kentucky resident was tied up, gagged, tortured and strangled to death two days after she moved into her new apartment in Cabarete, in the Dominican Republic.<br />
Dominican newspaper <a class="class" href="https://hoy.com.do/silencio-en-caso-de-extranjera-muerta/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Hoy</a>, reports that at least one of the suspects is a male Haitian national who worked in the Casa Yagua apartment complex as a janitor.<br />
The complex is occupied mainly by expatriate tenants, mostly French, Canadian, Dutch and Haitian nationals.<br />
63-year-old Anton, an English teacher who had been working in the Island nation for the past 15 years, moved into her new apartment on Saturday. Her car remained parked outside the building after her body was removed.<br />
Investigators say she died as during a home invasion robbery, because her phone, laptop and 40-inch plasma TV were missing and her clothing drawers and closets had been ransacked.</div>
