The alleged perpetrators behind the brutal killing of Gustavo Alejo Misa, an elderly resident of Ciro Redondo in the La Campana community, located in Manicaragua, Villa Clara province, have been identified and apprehended just days after the crime took place.
According to the Facebook page Desaparecidos dentro de Cuba. Somos tu voz, the incident happened on March 4, around midnight. Misa discovered a theft occurring at his premises and decided to pursue the thieves. About 500 meters into the chase, the assailants stopped and attacked him with a machete, inflicting fatal injuries.
The investigation led to the arrest of the alleged culprits, identified as brothers Yuidel and Enel Villazón Perera. Authorities are also looking into the involvement of a woman in her 50s, who is suspected of acting as an accomplice by alerting the thieves in case of any unexpected developments.
An Unthinkable Motive: Cookies
Almakki Díaz, a social media user, revealed that the motive behind the crime was shockingly trivial: several packs of cookies and other items belonging to the victim. In his attempt to retrieve them, the situation escalated to murder.
Local residents indirectly witnessed the event when they saw the Villazón brothers walking away. When asked about Gustavo, the suspects denied any knowledge, but the elderly man's dismembered body was soon discovered.
The murder weapon, a machete, was later found wrapped in a towel under a bridge, both items belonging to the victim.
