The attack on Lester Domínguez Ortiz, a 17-year-old boy seriously injured by machetes on March 21 in San Germán, Holguín province, was learned through social networks. The first to report and, later, to tell about his evolution, was an uncle of the minor, Dennis Dominguez.
This Wednesday, the boy, admitted to the Holguín Pediatric Hospital, suffered a relapse after having improved, according to his relative. “They put the devices on him, he had a very fast heart rate,” said the uncle.
The day before, although he warned that he was still “in a critical situation”, the man celebrated that “the devices” had been removed and the young man shook his head “from one side to the other”.
In his most detailed report, Dennis Domínguez reported that the teenager had been eating puree for four days and was being given juices, but warned: “His chances of living are 50%. We have to wait and see how the neck inflammation evolves.”
On the same day of the attack, the uncle asked in a Facebook ‘post’ for any information that could lead to the culprit, who attacked his nephew to steal his phone
The same day of the attack, the uncle asked in a post from Facebook any information that could lead to the culprit, who assaulted his nephew to steal his phone. Last Monday, he asked: “Do not investigate further, the case is resolved.”
The official page Realities from Holguin confirmed that the day before the family was informed “that the author of the robbery with violence is arrested and confessed.” In his text, he criticizes that the event was shared on Facebook, “some for bringing the news to the world, others to create panic, others to question the actions of the Police, and even a supposed uncle dedicated himself to making direct calls from abroad proposing $5,000 to whoever identified the criminal.”
Faced with this, he praised: “While many people moved their fingers on the screens of their phones to provide their criteria in relation to the fact, forces from the Ministry of the Interior strove to find the unscrupulous author.” The alleged attacker will be prosecuted for robbery with violence and “intimidation”.
Although the same report boasted that “our Police work with professionalism and dedication” and that “in Cuba they work to maintain citizen tranquility, peace and security”, in Holguín this type of aggression is not only new but rather they are multiplying
“There was another notorious assault on a man, to steal an electric motorcycle, and the son is offering 100,000 pesos from the US for whoever finds the culprit,” says Juan, a resident of that eastern city. A week ago, an acquaintance of his “who was talking on the phone in the street had a motorized by the side and snatched the device”, and assures: “The queue in ETECSA to claim this type of case is long”.
