murders in Cuba

Six people were arrested in Holguín accused of having murdered the young Kevin Luis Griñán Reyna, who was found dead over the weekend in a river in Sagua de Tánamo.

According to the Cazador-Cazado profile, linked to the Ministry of the Interior (Minint), the National Revolutionary Police (PNR) already had the six involved in custody, identified as Brian Jesús Breff Columbie, Einer Romero Casas, Dianner López Urquía, Roilan López Romero, José David Osorio and Yoriobis Bravo Breff.

According to the version given by the official profile, the murder was a consequence of a conflict that broke out around 3:00 am last Sunday, April 21, when all the young people were drinking at the ‘El Turquino’ bar.

During this fight, Griñán Reyna reportedly pulled out a knife, but was hit in the head with a bottle, so he fled the scene. He was chased by the group until they reached the banks of the Sagua River, where he was stabbed by the six individuals and thrown into the body of water.

The body was found on Sunday morning, which caused shock among residents of the area.

According to independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada, all of the detainees are from the El Jobo neighborhood, known for having a history of violence and gangs.

The communicator indicated that the young man’s funeral was attended by a large part of the community, with family and neighbors from the Bazán neighborhood, coming together to say goodbye to the deceased.

Several Internet users were outraged by what happened, pointing out that violence on the Island was at high levels that had not been seen before.

“Any manifestation of violence is truly regrettable. Young people no longer know what healthy fun is”; “Let the full weight of the law fall on them, because here, as long as they do not crack down on crime, events like this will continue to occur” and “The laws must change and be more energetic when it comes to judging these types of crimes.” ”were some of the comments made.

It is important to highlight that, while the official profile boasted about how quickly the authorities acted to solve the murder, it had made no mention of the discovery of the young man’s body.

This is a very common practice in profiles linked to the Minint, as they try to use social networks to praise the work of the authorities, reporting only the crimes that are solved and ignoring the vast majority of those that occur throughout the country. .

The wave of insecurity that has affected Cuba for months continues to claim victims. On this occasion, the murder of a young Cuban father was reported in the province of Ciego de Ávila, allegedly for having been “mistaken for another person.”

According to Cuban influencer Niover Licea, the incident occurred last week in the town of Jicotea. The victim was identified as Miguel Ángel Espinosa, who had a baby who was only four months old.

According to Licea, the young man was traveling aboard his motorcycle with a young woman when the woman’s partner, upon seeing her “with another man,” suffered an aggressive attack of jealousy, attacking Espinosa and ending his life.

“He was the victim of a fit of jealousy, he mistook him for another and decided to take his life,” said a source who contacted the influencer.

This person points out that, after realizing the lethal mistake, possibly warned by his own partner, the aggressor went and voluntarily surrendered to the National Revolutionary Police.

Several publications shared on social networks confirmed the fact, saying goodbye to the young man, who was described by many as a good person who did not deserve to have received such a violent end.

“My brother, you left us and I couldn’t tell you how much I love you, but we will never forget you because of your words. “I am skinny, ugly but crazy, and I ask God to take good care of you,” user Orestes Pérez wrote on Facebook, who also shared a photograph in which he can be seen having a few drinks with the deceased young man.

In November, Espinosa celebrated the arrival of her baby with a moving publication, in which she shared photographs of the newborn and a short message in which she thanked God for everything that had happened to her.

“I love you my girl. Thank you, God, for everything,” Espinosa indicated months ago.

At the moment, more details are unknown, such as the name of the aggressor or the penalty he will have to face for the murder of the young man.
