Lester Domínguez, a young Cuban who suffered a vicious machete attack in Holguín in March 2023 over a cell phone theft, has made significant strides in his recovery journey almost two years after the incident. On Tuesday, his father, Dennis Domínguez, shared on Facebook that Lester's health has greatly improved, noting his increased strength, posture, and muscle mass.
Furthermore, it was announced that next month, Lester is expected to be admitted to the Julito Díaz Hospital in Havana for continued rehabilitation, including additional exercise sessions and ozone therapy to further enhance his physical recovery and quality of life. In June, Lester began his rehabilitation in Cuba's capital, aiming to regain his strength and walk independently again.
Throughout his son’s recovery process, Dennis Domínguez has remained by his side. He recently shared a photo of Lester enjoying a day with family in Guardalavaca, highlighting his optimism about his son’s progress. "I hope he continues to improve, and that God, along with the doctors, performs the miracle of his recovery," he expressed.
Back in May, after attending the trial of his son's attacker, Lester expressed dissatisfaction with the proceedings, as his father reported on social media. Dennis Domínguez voiced concerns in a lengthy Facebook post that the accused might receive leniency from the court.
He alleged that in prison, the accused, Adrián Grass Bermúdez, who severely injured Lester in March 2023, is reportedly enjoying certain privileges. According to Domínguez, there are rumors among inmates and guards that Grass Bermúdez is related to Gámez, a person in charge of the Provisional, who allegedly threatens other inmates, claiming that Grass Bermúdez is his godson and should not suffer any harm.
