A Cuban citizen, Aliesky Martínez Ferrer, has been apprehended following accusations of murdering his five-year-old son and committing several acts of violence in the municipality of Minas, Camagüey. This information was shared across social media platforms.
The Facebook page La Tijera reported that before his arrest, Martínez Ferrer, who was evading law enforcement, entered a unit of the National Revolutionary Police (PNR) and attacked an officer with a machete. He was eventually captured with the assistance of trained dogs after seeking refuge in a house, fleeing with a gunshot wound.
Jose Luis Tan Estrada, a journalist, also highlighted the news: “Multiple sources confirm the capture of Aliesky Martínez Ferrer, responsible for the horrific crime in Minas.” Similarly, communicator Alberto Arego noted, “The residents of Minas, Camagüey, feel more at ease after Aliesky Martínez Ferrer, the murderer of his own five-year-old son, was captured.”
