They showcase the condition of the house where a family was murdered and burned in Santiago de Cuba

Two striking photos reveal the condition of the land where the little house stood, in which a family was murdered and burned in a rural area of Santiago de Cuba last week.

In the images shared on Facebook by journalist Yosmany Mayeta, the charred remains of what appears to have been a humble dwelling can be seen.

Many sheets of zinc can be seen, along with some water tanks and little else: Everything was laid to waste by the voracity of the flames.

The victims were a couple and their adult son.

The young man has been identified as Felipe Peña Santos, 30 years old. The identities of the two elderly individuals were Felipe Peña Sablón and Gisela Santos.

The incident occurred in the town of Chamarreta, in the Santiago municipality of San Luis, and the motive for the crime appears to have been theft.

The family would have been brutally murdered for the purpose of robbing them of money and animals.

The killers then set the house on fire to erase the traces of the crime and, in the process, to make it seem as though the family had died in the fire, according to the previously cited communicator.

In his latest report on the case, Yosmany Mayeta clarified—citing neighbors as a source—that "possible suspects" had been captured, but the case would remain under investigation.

Despite the gravity of the situation, neither official media nor local authorities in Santiago de Cuba have commented on the triple murder, which is among the most heinous crimes reported in Cuba this year.

In the comments section of the post, hundreds of Cubans have called for justice for the victims, with several directly demanding the death penalty for the alleged perpetrators.

According to reports from some residents in the area, thefts occur frequently. Furthermore, the family lived away from the population, which does not exceed one hundred inhabitants.

As of the publication of this note, no additional details have been confirmed regarding the case, which adds to the rising wave of violence in the country, set against a backdrop of significant economic crisis.
