Human remains were discovered in the yard of a house in the Santo Domingo neighborhood - known as El Marabú - in the city of Las Tunas this Wednesday.
The alleged suspect would be a man known as "Mala Suerte," with erratic behavior and a history of violence, as revealed in a post by the news portal La Tijera.
According to citizen reports released by the aforementioned source, the discovery was made possible by digging at three points on the property of their home, located on Julián Santana Street, between Osvaldo Herrera and Frank País.
The individual, who suffers from mental disorders and lives near a local medical clinic, has not been arrested so far, despite the seriousness of what has been uncovered and its impact on the community.
Neighbors speculate that the remains could belong to an uncle who has been missing for over a year, although there are also fears that there may be more victims, including a young woman who has been missing for about ten months.
However, all the information disseminated so far lacks official status, which is why the details and specifics are not entirely clear.
A confession under the effects of "the chemical"
One of the most alarming elements of the case was provided by a neighbor from the neighborhood, who claimed that the suspect had confessed to having bodies buried in his backyard while under the influence of the drug known as "el químico."
"Although two or three cyberclarias have attempted to deny the allegation, several followers from the main city confirmed the fact," La Tijera reiterated in a second post.
In its update, it was detailed that the remains were found “after digging three holes in the yard of a man with mental disorders.”
Neighbors say: "He was always a killer."
Following the publication of the events, testimonies began to circulate pointing to the accused as a feared figure in the neighborhood for years, not only due to his violent behavior but also because of his history as a repeat sexual offender.
“He has always been a murderer, not just now. People in the neighborhood avoid getting involved with him because he will hurt anyone. Besides being a murderer, he has also been a child rapist all his life,” wrote Daniela María Pérez.
According to his testimony, only one teenager—the son of a deceased neighbor—dared to confront him physically.
"At 15 years old, he opened her belly," in an act that, according to the source, was suggested to be self-defense.
Other comments, such as those from Francesca Delino, highlight the collective fear:
"They put him in prison, but he gets out right away or after a few years. Still, people are afraid to confront him... they are terrified of him. I repeat: he is a murderer and a rapist, despite being a crazy person with official papers."
Tania Torres was even more explicit: “He is a child rapist and they always release him, a disgusting killer.”
Between compassion and institutional neglect
Although most of the comments expressed condemnation, there were also testimonies that attempted to contextualize his mental decline.
Olga Miriam Cruz Caraballe reported having known "Mala Suerte" since childhood and stated that his disorder developed after suffering repeated blows in prison
"He received many blows to the head. I would sometimes give him money... I am at a loss for words. I truly feel pain for both the victims and for him. Note: I do not justify him. I am sorry."
As of the closing of this report, there is no confirmation from official sources regarding the alleged discovery of bone remains in the backyard of a house in Las Tunas.
