One of the individuals involved in the murder of the Peña Sablón family, a tragic event that took place last November in the municipality of San Luis, Santiago de Cuba, which resulted in the death of a couple and their son, has been captured, as reported by a state-affiliated profile this Tuesday.
“Héroes del Moncada” reported on Facebook that the arrested individual, who has not been identified, has been formally charged with murder and will be presented before the courts, where he will be tried with the severity mandated by law.

According to neighbors and acquaintances, the Peña Sablón family was known for engaging in the illicit sale of coffee and for possessing money and livestock, which may have motivated the attackers.
