The victim, Marialedys Abad Morgado, was strangled in her home from the cast Albaisa by her ex -husband, Yoel Caballero, who fled, but was caught by the police in the Guáimaro municipality, confirmed to Martí News an agent of the police unit of that town.

Lisbania Ortega, the youngest of the two daughters of Marialedys, said, in conversation with our writing that the perpetrator of the crime «the first thing he did was hit him, which was what weakened her, strangled her and then raped her after death.»

Martí News has not been able to verify with the Institute of Legal Medicine of Camagüey the details of the murder.

According to Ortega, his mother and his attacker had maintained a romantic relationship for about two years, but she had interrupted her and he did not resign.

«He harassed her a lot, and she didn’t act as she had to act, because he had to have denounced him on time,» he said.

Gender observatories tense and I do believe you in Cuba verified the one that would mark the first crime of sexist violence in the month of March.

“Maríaledys was killed by his ex -partner at his own home. There are other alerts that are open in different provinces of the country that we are still working on, ”said Yanelys Núñez, a specialist of tense wings.

«For that we always ask for citizen collaboration, because we have very few human and economic resources to be able to cover the entire country in depth and that is why we always have our communication paths, our social networks, our email to inform of femicides recently occurred but also of other years,» said Núñez.

The macho violence in Cuba charged in 2024 the life of 55 women.

From 2019 to date, at least 270 femicides have been recorded, according to observatories. «This data represents only a sub -registration, since both platforms face serious limitations: they do not have access to medical or police records, and must deal with the criminalization of the Cuban regime and the lack of public statistics to verify the alerts they receive,» said Alas tense in a Post on Facebook.

Both groups have insisted on the need for the Cuban government to declare a «state of emergency for gender violence» and have claimed an integral law against sexist violence, since feminicide is not typified in the Criminal Code of the island.
