NOVEMBER 25
On November 25, 1960, Minerva (34), Mate (24) and Patria (36) went on a trip to visit their imprisoned husbands. Driver Rafina de la Cruz was with them. On their way back home, Trujillo’s henchmen stopped them and all were clubbed to death. Trujillo’s men put the women’s bodies back in their Jeep and ran it off a mountain road to make it look like an accident.
