Another Spanish priest found dead in Cuba
HAVANA -- (AP) -- A second Spanish priest in five months has been found
dead near the capital, Cuba's Roman Catholic Church said Monday.
The Rev. Mariano Arroyo Merino's body was discovered Monday morning in
his room at the parish he served in the coastal neighborhood of Regla,
situated on Havana Bay across from the capital, the Havana Archbishop's
office said in a news release. It said early indications are that the
74-year-old Arroyo was murdered.
Arroyo arrived in Cuba in January 1997, the same month Pope John Paul II
made a historic visit to the island, and had worked at the Regla parish
since 2004. The church did not speculate publicly about a possible
motive and did not offer any details.
There was no mention of the priest's death in state media, which
generally doesn't report crime news.
Authorities are still investigating the death of another Spanish priest,
the Rev. Eduardo de la Fuente Serrano, whose body was found in a remote,
sparsely populated area just outside the capital in mid-February.
