Asked the significance of having a child,  Elida said: ‘I think having a child is more, you’re mine. As a tie down kind of  thing. You can’t do this, you can’t do that.‘He can control her even more. He was  obsessed about control, he was always obsessive about having control.

‘He became abusive, first he started pushing  her then he hit her.’

Elida recounted one instance that was  particularly harrowing.

She said: ‘After she had Anthony he pushed  her in a box, I don’t know why. He pushed the flaps and told her: ‘You stay in  there until I tell you to get out.’

‘When I went downstairs to tell my family he  told Grimilda to get out.

‘She got pregnant with (her second child of  five) Angie and everything was OK but he was still controlling towards  her.’

Elida said that her sister stayed with Ariel  ‘because he said he would kill her if she left.’

She said: ‘It was for the kids. She would not  leave for all those kids.

‘When we used to visit her she would say she  can’t leave the porch or Ariel will kill her.

‘She tried to leave. She feared him. If he  tried to leave he would take the kids away or kill her.’
