The remains of a man who vanished over 20 years ago were reportedly found during renovations in a closet of a house in Artemisa, according to multiple social media reports.
This grim discovery took place at a residence on 29th Street, across from the Tomás Romay Polyclinic, in the Zayas neighborhood of the main municipality of Artemisa Province.
According to circulating testimonies, the bones were uncovered when some workers were repairing the base of an old closet. The victim has been identified as Jorge López—known as “Pepín”—and was allegedly murdered by his eldest son.
“The confession of Jorgito, the oldest brother and (self-confessed killer), revealed how he committed the crime, decapitated the body, and then buried it,” stated a post in the group Denunciando Crímenes en Cuba.
Meanwhile, Elvis, the youngest son, had been living in the house unaware that his brother had killed their father and that "his remains were lying in their own home," concluded the post.
The incident has sparked dozens of shocked comments from internet users who find it hard to believe such a horrifying event. However, several commentators have confirmed the story's authenticity, noting the presence of police and forensic teams in the area.
“You have to have a black heart to do that to a family member. And to live for 21 years with that on your conscience. How horrible!" wrote one user.
"Jesus, what a terrible thing, how cold-hearted that person must be. To kill his father and bury him in the house as if nothing happened! There is indeed immense evil in humanity, it is sad and painful. May God have mercy on us," commented another.
Neighbors in the area speculate that the victim might have been a merchant sailor who disappeared without a trace.
