Yudiley Rodríguez Enríquez killed in her Gibara home

Yudiley Rodríguez Enríquez was stabbed to death Tuesday afternoon inside her home in the Margodo neighborhood of Gibara municipality, Holguín province. She was also known as Mimí. The location places the event in a Margodo residence within Gibara and Holguín, while the available text does not give a calendar date for the cited Tuesday.

Rodríguez Enríquez was 37 and a mother of four. Those details identify her age and family status, without specifying her children's ages or other aspects of their lives.

The Alas Tensas Gender Observatory documented the case based on testimony from the victim's relatives. In its register, the death became the 58th femicide it counted in Cuba during 2026. That number belongs to the observatory's annual record and is distinct from the location and personal details.

Cuba's 2022 Penal Code does not establish femicide as an autonomous offense. According to the cited explanation, it appears only as an aggravating circumstance in homicide. OGAT's use of the word in its register and the criminal code's legal classification operate on different levels.

The account combines a temporal reference—Tuesday afternoon—with the precise location in a Margodo home. It identifies Rodríguez Enríquez as Mimí, states her age and notes she was a mother of four. OGAT added the case to its 2026 count, while the legal explanation clarifies how the Penal Code treats femicide.
