The Public Ministry reported that the investigation of the cases of the deaths of the two young men, from Santiago and San José de Ocoa, who died from blows inflicted by members of the National Police, is progressing.
The prosecuting body guarantees that none of these deaths will go unpunished and that it works hard in the investigation to establish responsibility and prosecute the guilty.
In Santiago, relatives of Richard Báez (el Peluquero), 28, who died on April 5 in a hospital center after being assaulted by National Police agents in the Cienfuegos detachment, fear that justice will not be served. , since the fact takes more than a month.
María Durán, widow of Báez, complained that the agents who caused the death of her partner have not yet been brought to justice and that what was done was the transfer of the police crew, where the incident occurred.
The 20-year-old, nine months pregnant, considered that with the results of the autopsy and the videos of the victim walking, while being transferred by police officers, the Public Ministry has sufficient elements to subdue those responsible.
Ocoa case
Others demanding justice are the relatives of José Gregorio Custodio, who died on the 16th of last month from the blows he received from the Police in San José de Ocoa.
Those responsible allegedly blackmailed doctors into saying that he died “from an allergy” to an Omeprazole tablet.
The Police had arrested Gregorio because he was supposedly drunk and assaulted his partner, which was denied by the victim’s relatives, so a patrol chased Gregorio down 27 de Febrero Street, in the heart of Ocoa.
Two police officers arrived on a motorcycle, entered the private clinic without a court order, at dawn.
The mother of the then arrested person, Milandina Custodio, upon learning that he was in prison, went to investigate the cause and bring him food. He went to the police three times and they never allowed him to deliver the meals and when inquiring about his condition, the policemen on duty always told him to leave it because Gregorio “was sleeping.”
Gregorio died in the San José hospital and the health center, where police officers kept terrifying the doctors so that they would say that he died of an allergy and that he had no signs of violence.
