El Diario La Prensa, News Report, Posted: Oct 13, 2011

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic—Eighteen-18-year-old Betty Vilomar Orel surrendered to authorities Tuesday after allegedly fatally stabbing 20-year-old Cristina Cabrera.

The suspected motive behind the stabbing was that Cabrera  allegedly posted insulting comments  on Orel’s facebook page, reports El Diario La Prensa.

Orel's attorney accompanied the young woman to the Santa Domingo District Attorney’s office.

According to the news report, the comments Cabrera allegedly posted on Orel’s social networking profile were, “You’re a bitch,” “your mouth stinks.” Orel and Cabrera reportedly have had a long rivalry over a mutual love interest.

Last Sunday night, Orel allegedly stabbed Cabrera at a grocery store. The victim died hours later at the Darío Contreras hospital, the news report says.

Cabrera was the eldest of five children and was studying marketing at the Academic Institute of Technology.
