Reyes will be transferred to Tegucigalpa, where he will be held in a National Police cell. On Wednesday, he is scheduled to appear virtually for a preliminary hearing before a judge, as reported by the Supreme Court of Justice.
Due to security concerns, Reyes will not be sent to the island of Roatán, where he faces charges for the deaths of Dionie Solórzano, his former partner, Nikendra McCoy, and María Antonia Cruz. The bodies of the three women were found inside a vehicle in a parking lot shortly after Reyes had left Honduras for the United States.
Reyes was apprehended at Las Américas International Airport (AILA) in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, as he attempted to board a flight to Miami, after spending approximately two weeks in the country.
The three women were last seen leaving Punta Gorda, Roatán, with Reyes on January 7. Family members expressed mixed emotions—relief that Reyes will face justice and sorrow over the loss of their loved ones.
The mother of one victim tearfully recounted that her four-year-old grandson frequently asks to visit his mother at the cemetery.
Honduras’ Attorney General, Johel Zelaya, assured the public that “justice will be served” and expressed hope that the judicial process would be fair.
