The Cuban Esney Fonseca Sánchez, initially identified as a suspected person involved in the murder of four people on Saturday in Ceballos, Ciego de Ávila, and of whom it was even reported that he had committed suicide, denied his connection to the quadruple crime.
"Sir, I am supposedly the guy they said was hanged. I want to express my condolences to the people who passed away," said Fonseca Sánchez in a video circulated in recent hours on social media. He then asked for a favor to refute in several groups "all the gossip and nonsense" that is about him.
"I have nothing to do with that," he said about the brutal crime.
"I would be incapable of doing that to two women and two innocent children. I do not have the heart to do any of that. It hurts, what I assure is that I do not have the heart to do any of that," he concluded.
Idalmis Sánchez Fonseca, the mother of the young man, classified the information about her son, which was shared on social media by crime reporter Niover Licea, as "slander."
"Please, I call on everyone to share this post for the slander being raised against my son, Esney Fonseca Sánchez, by a unfortunate malicious person who uploaded this video claiming that my son took his own life because he was the alleged murderer of those innocent people," the woman denounced.
"But the law of God does not want traps; they have already caught the murderers, and I wholeheartedly hope that the weight of the law falls upon those wretches," he added, referring to the two brothers who have been arrested as the presumed perpetrators of the heinous crime.
Niover Licea himself walked back and corrected the initial information, in which he mentioned the alleged suicide of Esney Fonseca Sánchez and his connection to the crime.
On the morning of August 24, two women who were neighbors and their two children, both minors and one only four years old, were brutally murdered.
The incident occurred between 6:00 and 7:00 am, in the neighborhood of the "old bakery" in Ceballos, after the father of the four-year-old boy left to work on his farm.
The alleged killers, a pair of 26-year-old twin brothers identified as Luis Enrique and Leudys Romero Daudinot, entered the home where Yamila Reyes Tamayo (29 years old) and her son Richard Dariel Núñez (4 years old) were, in search of money that supposedly amounted to one million pesos.
A neighbor and her teenage son -identified as Raysa Rodríguez (50 years old) and Lester Rivadeneira Rodríguez (17)- upon hearing the screams from a neighboring house went to help and were also killed.
The incident has caused deep shock among Cubans, who cannot believe such a level of violence.
Regarding the alleged killers, it was learned in recent hours that Leudys worked as a cook in a school and occasionally worked on the farm of the man whose wife and son he ultimately killed.
The police seized one million pesos from Leudys, along with his bloodstained clothes as a result of the massacre, as well as clothing he had stolen for his own son, as activist Yamilka Laffita revealed on social media.
In the face of the shock caused by the quadruple murder, the state-run press, which usually tends to ignore cases of murder and other serious crimes, had no choice but to speak out.
