Cuban high school student stabs, kills, teacher in school

HOLGUÍN, May (Juan Carlos Garcell, APLO / www.cubanet.org) - A 16-year-old 11th grade student stabbed a teacher at the "Luis Artemio Carbó" secondary school in Sagua de Tánamo, in Holguín province April 30. The teacher died from his wounds a short time later.

The student, Yoandri Takecheli, had been harshly reprimanded by the 32-year-old Phys. Ed. teacher the day before, according to other students at the school. Students said Takecheli tried to go through the cafeteria line twice, and when the teacher, Leonel Molina, noticed, he took his tray, pushed him and insulted him in front of the other students.

The next day, Takecheli brought a knife to school, called Molina, and stabbed him twice, once in the arm and again in the stomach. The stomach wound proved fatal, doctors at the "Juan Paz Camejo" hospital said later that day. Molina arrived at the hospital alive, but died shortly thereafter.

Takecheli fled after stabbing Molina, but was apprehended by other teachers. He was taken to the local police station, where a doctor declared he was in a very excitable state. Police later took him to the provincial capital.
