Bail had initially been set at $500,000, but the Prosecutor’s Office has said that the amount is not enough because the defendant was already on probation when he killed Díaz, according to court documents cited by the ABC-13 channel.

Dicus was arrested last November for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, he was extremely agitated and threatened the police and prison staff, says the Prosecutor’s Office.

In addition, he exhibited mood swings and violent behavior, including banging on windows, and had to be tied to a chair to obtain a sample of his blood.

The Prosecutor’s Office argued that the initial bail was not high enough to “protect the community as a whole from your violent tendencies, but also your own family members”, according to information cited by the television station.

The crime occurred in the house where the couple lived, behind the home of Dicus’s parents, in Waller County, located northwest of Houston.

Dicus’s family called the authorities after finding the body of the woman, who had arrived in the US illegally to seek a better future.

Dicus remained at the scene until the police arrived and he was arrested. The couple had married last October.

Díaz’s body will be repatriated to Nicaragua. The community said goodbye to the young woman with a religious service last Sunday in which she was described as a happy and hard-working woman.
