We first found out through social media. The disappearance of Carlos Maestre from Artemis, on Tuesday, October 17, was shared in several Facebook groups. The next day, “the family showed up at the PNR station in the main municipality and reported their absence,” says Lieutenant Colonel Raúl Díaz Cruz, head of the information and analysis body of the Minint Provincial Headquarters.
Carlos Maestre had gone out to buy foreign currency. “From there, a work team was formed to investigate the incident, since there were indications of criminality.”
According to Díaz Cruz, “investigative actions were carried out until it was established that he was heading towards the house of a citizen in the Lincoln popular council, with whom he had ties of that nature.
“First we interviewed her, and on Thursday the 19th Carlos’s body was found in this community, so we detained her, since she was the last person to have contact with him.
“The event, orchestrated between her and her uncle, occurred in her home. The victim went there and the subject hit him in the face with a pipe, which caused his death. At first it was not possible to arrest him in the neighborhood, but, thanks to our investigative work, at dawn on Saturday the 21st we located him in the rural community of Tres palmas, belonging to Bahía Honda.”
Díaz Cruz assures that, despite the cleaning of the crime scene, blood stains were obtained on the wall. The two defendants were given the precautionary measure of provisional detention and are subject to the corresponding legal process for the crime of murder.”
“To date, the electric motorcycle on which the deceased was traveling has not been found. On the other hand, until last Monday, 109,000 pesos had been recovered from about 400,000 pesos, with which he had to buy the dollars. “The main perpetrator of the crime has not yet confessed.”
Furthermore, “there are no elements that indicate the participation of another person, although at the time of the arrest of the alleged murderer, he was accompanied by his brother, against whom there is an accusation of theft and slaughter of livestock.”
The current Penal Code establishes in its title , according to circumstances that the law also clarifies.
Likewise, the Lieutenant Colonel denied rumors on social networks about an alleged curfew in Artemisa, Alquízar and Güira de Melena, as well as the assault on a van between the main municipality and Alquízar.
In this last town they did capture the members of a gang that attacked homes while hooded, while investigations continue into other events, which will not go unpunished, nor do they respond to a wave of violence in the territory, Minint authorities maintained.
