Havana/The independent platform Yo Sí Te Creo en Cuba (YSTC) confirmed this Wednesday a new feminicide, this time in the city of Guantánamo. This is Aniuska Hernández Ginard, 49, murdered this Tuesday in her own apartment.
According to YSTC, Hernández’s alleged attacker is a neighbor of the building where he lived, on Carrera Larga Street, who had already been imprisoned for having killed his wife. Independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada, who also shared information about the victim, stated that Aniuska was stabbed 12 times.
According to a neighbor’s story, Hernández Ginard’s husband “was not in the house, because he had gone to finish peeling because he had left it halfway, and the murderer went up, opened the door and the first blow he gave her was in the head”.
The attacker attacked Aniuska in front of her youngest daughter (she has three in total), something that YSTC also reported. After the attack he fled and is a fugitive.
Organizations warn that there are six cases that need more investigation to determine if they are femicides
José Ángel Rodríguez Ginard, the woman’s cousin, assured Mayeta that there was no reason for the feminicide: “No one knows anything, they had no problems or anything, according to what they tell me.”
Yo Yes I Believe in Cuba has already recorded 23 femicides so far this year, although the count carried out14ymedio It rises to 21 with this case, since the murders of two elderly women in March that this newspaper does not consider to be sexist in nature are not included.
In addition, the organizations warn that there are six cases that need further investigation to determine if they are femicides, three of them in Havana, two in Santiago de Cuba and one in Esperanza, Villa Clara.
The last two cases of deaths due to sexist violence on the Island were both recorded on May 28, with the murders of Ariatna Gámez Quintana, 32, in Holguín, and Ailen Tartabull, in Cienfuegos.
