Cuban man charged with murdering Venezuelan woman

A Cuban national who was charged with the murder of 32-year-old Venezuelan woman was expected to appear before a Port of Spain magistrate on Wednesday.

Director of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard on Tuesday gave instructions for the charge to be laid against Aroldo Vidal Guitierrez, 42.

Police said they responded to a domestic violence call on Thursday at an apartment at Flag Staff, Long Circular Road, St James, where they found Johandrys Espinoza dead.

At the Forensic Science Centre a post-mortem examination showed she had died of manual strangulation.
