The Ministry of the Interior (MININT) clarified this Thursday that the bone remains discovered in the yard of a house in the Santo Domingo neighborhood in the city of Las Tunas, do not belong to humans, but to animals, following the uproar generated on social media due to the finding.
According to the official note published by the Periódico 26, the investigation began on Wednesday, September 3, when a citizen reported the possible presence of human remains on Julián Santana Street.
A search of the site confirmed the presence of bones, which were transferred to the Ernesto Guevara de la Serna Provincial Hospital. Specialists in Legal Medicine concluded that the fragments belong to animals.
The clarification from MININT comes after intense rumors circulated on pages like La Tijera, where a neighbor known as “Mala Suerte” was pointed out as an implicated individual, described by residents as a man with a history of violence and feared in the area.
Testimonials on social media even claimed that the discovery could be linked to missing relatives or other unresolved crimes, which heightened community alarm.
Neighbors in the neighborhood described the individual as erratic, with a history of assaults and violent behaviors, which sparked collective suspicion and fear within the community.
Some versions claimed that he had confessed to having bodies buried in his yard under the influence of drugs, although these statements were never confirmed by official sources.
The case reflects the tension experienced in many Cuban neighborhoods between citizen fear, distrust in institutions, and the speed at which rumors spread on social media.
So far, no legal actions have been reported against the neighbor identified by the community, nor have further details about the investigation been provided.
