A man was murdered by his stepson in the municipality of Songo La Maya, in Santiago de Cuba, after trying to intervene in a beating that the aggressor was inflicting on a woman.
The victim has been identified as Reinier Nápoles Leliebre and the aggressor as Ronerkis Castelnaux, as stated on social media by journalist Yosmany Mayeta.
The unfortunate incident occurred on Saturday night near the feed factory in that municipality when the stepfather - nicknamed "Jabao" - intervened in a fight between Ronerkis and his girlfriend.
"Jabao wanted to prevent his stepson from continuing to beat the woman, that's why he killed him," revealed one of his sources familiar with the case to the aforementioned journalist.
Nápoles Leliebre did not survive the attack and was taken lifeless to the polyclinic of the municipality, where he would have remained for several hours until he was transferred to the Forensic Medicine.
The alleged killer was captured on Sunday morning after being on the run for several hours. The victim was buried at four o'clock in the afternoon of that same June 30th.
Until the closing of this note, no further details have emerged about the violent incident.
This is the second murder reported in less than a month in Songo La Maya, as at the end of June a man identified as Erlay Moya was also murdered during a fight in that municipality.
Last month, Beatriz Johnson Urrutia, First Secretary of the Party in Santiago de Cuba, warned during a meeting that they will not hesitate to combat crime and corruption in that province, where reports of all kinds of violent incidents have surged in recent months.
"We do not shake our hand. Our hand has never shaken! And it will not be at this moment that our hands or legs tremble," said Johnson.
"We have to do what we have to do because what we are defending is very important," he added.
