Authorities investigate violent death of George Urguelles in Central Havana
The Cuban American citizen was found with stab wounds in his apartment in the Nela building on Requena Street.
George Urguelles, a Cuban American citizen, was found dead Wednesday in his apartment in the Nela building on Requena Street, between Carlos III and Maloja, in Central Havana. He had multiple stab wounds.
Authorities are investigating a suspected homicide and the possible theft of money, phones, watches and a gold chain estimated to be worth about $10,000. Neighbors described the suspect as a young man who frequently visited the apartment and said he left the building with a woman after the attack; those accounts do not identify the people involved.
National Revolutionary Police and Interior Ministry specialists cordoned off the scene to collect fingerprints, statements and biological evidence. The investigation continues; no detailed official statement about possible arrests had been published.
