Two hypotheses in the case of the murder of a Cuban doctor in Spain

The investigation into the murder of the Cuban pediatrician Rafael Piorno Fermoselle, who was found bound and with several stab wounds in his home in Aguadulce, Almería, is progressing discreetly under the direction of the Civil Guard, which is currently considering two hypotheses.

Despite the secrecy surrounding the case, Spanish authorities are focusing on two main hypotheses that could clarify what they consider a "planned homicide" that shocked the community of Roquetas de Mar last week, reported the newspaper Vox Populi.

The first suggests that the doctor may have fallen victim to a deadly trap, and investigators believe he knew his attacker. This theory is supported by the fact that the lock on his home was not forced, and the alarm system did not activate during the attack.

In addition, the neighbors did not report hearing any suspicious noises in the hours close to the crime. These details suggest that Piorno Fermoselle opened the door to his home voluntarily, probably because he was expecting a visit from someone he knew or with whom he had made an appointment.

The second line of research explores the possibility that the motive for the murder is related to the pediatrician's personal business dealings. Despite having retired, the doctor continued seeing his patients at home and had put his house up for sale, which brought him into contact with various potential buyers.

This aspect has led investigators to carefully review their environment and recent movements, as well as analyze their mobile device to identify possible suspects.

The crime, which occurred under unusual circumstances, caused a great shock in Roquetas de Mar, where Dr. Piorno was widely respected for his dedication to medicine and his commitment to the community.

Originally from Santiago de Cuba, Piorno graduated in Orthopedic and Traumatological Surgery from the University of Havana before moving to Spain over two decades ago, where he worked in the public health sector.

He was found in his home last week after a neighbor noticed his absence and approached the front door, where he saw a bloodstain and called the authorities.

Upon entering, the agents confirmed that the doctor was tied up and had three stab wounds on his body.
