The FCDO is not aware of any requests for assistance from the Dominican Republic to support their investigation into the death of Lindsay De Feliz. FCDO officials have been in regular contact with Ms De Feliz's family to provide them with dedicated consular assistance for those bereaved through murder or manslaughter abroad. We will continue to offer support to the family throughout the trial, but the UK cannot interfere in another country's investigation or judicial processes, just as we do not allow other governments to interfere in our own systems.
