Cuban Mother โขKilled in Granma, Suspect at Large, Raising Femicide Count
Granma,โ Cuba – Details are emerging following the tragic deathโ of Yumila San โคMiguel, a motherโ from Granma province, allegedly at the hands of her partner,โ Jaime Yuniel Bazรกn rodrรญguez. Theโข incident, which โขunfoldedโฃ after a disagreement on the dayโ of the murder, has sparked outrage โฃand renewed focus on the escalating โissue of femicide in Cuba.
the circumstances surrounding Sanโ Miguel’s death came โto light through social media posts from her โdaughter, Lรญa San miguel, who identified Bazรกn Rodrรญguez as the perpetrator and โpleaded for public assistance in locating him. “this unfortunate took my mother’s life and is hidden,” she wrote on facebook, providing a contact number (63608023) for anyoneโฃ with information. โ Aโ neighbor, speaking through tears, stated, “Sheโ was a good person, onlyโ they drank a lot and argued, but nobody thoughtโข that he โwould be able to something like that.”
This incidentโค marks atโข least the 35th reported femicide in Cuba this year, โaccording to data compiled by the Observatorio de Tensiones y Yo Te Creo en Cuba. A โrecent report by Cuballama detailed another fatal stabbing of a Cubanโ womanโ by her ex-partner in Havana just days prior. As of Septemberโ 29th, the observatories had recorded 33 such crimes nationwide.
Authorities have yet to release official statements regarding Bazรกn Rodrรญguez’s captureโฃ or the status of the investigation. Unconfirmed reportsโข circulating online suggest he may have died by suicide, but these claims remain unsubstantiated. The case underscores the โขurgent โneed โfor increased awareness, preventative โmeasures, and accountability in addressing gender-based violence in cuba.
