Double femicide in Güines shakes Cuba
According to Google News CU — Crime, the murder of a doctor in the municipality of Güines, in the province of Mayabeque, became a case of double femicide that has generated outrage in Cuba.
The facts, reported by Diario de Cuba, indicate that two women lost their lives in circumstances linked to the same crime. The identities of the victims and the precise details of the incident have not been officially confirmed so far.
The term femicide, used to refer to the murder of women on grounds of gender, is at the centre of public debate surrounding this case. Cuba does not have an official registry or specific legislation that classifies femicide as an autonomous crime, which makes it difficult to track this type of crime statistically.
Cuban authorities have not issued any public statement on the Güines case so far.
