Authorities in the Dominican Republic arrested a man for allegedly raping and killing his ex-girlfriend's 12-year-old daughter.

Francisco Polo Mateo, 25, allegedly attacked Yarinelis Domínguez Rijo, 12, on April 5 after the victim's mother, Jennifer Rijo Rojas, 29, kicked him out.

The child's body was found on a bed at her residence in the Dominican Republic. Investigators reported that she showed signs of having been strangled and raped.

A message scrawled on the wall read: 'It pains me that I will not be there to see you suffer too, but I am leaving a happy [person] because of what I did to you.'

Mateo and Rijo Rojas had previously been visited by police officers after worried neighbors called 911 due to a string of domestic disputes inside the home.

But Rijo Rojas reportedly denied there was any violence at the time, and told police neighbors' were trying to break up her romance.

Recently, however, the mother kicked Mateo out of her home and filed a harassment complaint with the local Public Ministry.

Mateo is said to have returned to the home last Friday and allegedly beat the child while she was doing chores, according to Telesistema.

Mateo contacted Rijo Rojas and admitted that he had sexually abused and murdered her daughter.

He was charged with murdering the child and is due to appear in court Thursday.
