Tragic tale, obviously, but your brilliant research, images, and impeccable voice catapult your listeners to that place and time. We are there... Have a Marvellous Monday!!!

He took a beautiful woman’s life He had his life and being released after serving only 13 years If he was telling the truth and he struck her and she was injured he should take her to hospital but he did not do that He went on to have a life after taking hers away Very very sad

Great story with two physically beautiful people. This just proves the old saying “all that glitters ain’t gold”.

We read of people consumed with passion and jealousy, and laugh at the melodramatic portrayals in silent movies, but there are people like that. Rene never realized that it was all in his own head. He lost every advantage life had given him because he couldn't control his emotions.

He didn't need to murder her!!! He deserves everything he got except to be pardoned! She was young and beautiful, yes, but for her with no education, I'm sure it was hard. He was a narcissistic creep. To start to dismember her when she wasn't even dead and then killed her. I really got into this situation. Thank you Brief Case for another incredible episode!!!!

Obsessive love is as detrimental as indifferent love and more dangerous. Sadly, Celia missed all the danger signs. Thank you for the story Brief Case. I just love your writing style and your gift for descriptive narration. It evokes times and images and I can visualize events and places as you describe them. Wonderful talent.

If You Find Yourself CONSTANTLY Arguing With Your Mate, Maybe It's Time You Part Your Ways - BEFORE Someone Gets Hurt. It's Sad There Are Those Who Find That Out Too Late.

It's such a frustrating shame that certain people are so overcome with jealousy that they can't even enjoy good things when they have them? Jealousy is such a awful toxic thing that affects every little thing around it.. i wish it wasn't common and that more people could be mature, level headed and supportive of other people's happiness. Instead of being so self centered with jealousy that it ruins anything around them...

Often in these stories a woman will be be described as beautiful, and one has to think beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder, but in this case, Celia truly was beautiful. In this case beauty really was a curse.

I went on the internet to find more pictures of this beautiful woman and cannot find even one mention of the case. Your research is phenomenal! And the case was very interesting!

I wonder why René's wealthy family did not help the young couple? Annoyed by their son's choices, no doubt, but they could have taken her into the family, helped with her education and so forth.

13 years served for murder? He got to remarry and have children? He then led a fairly normal life? After killing another human being and denying her a future. Pathetic. Great episode though! 😊

Wow! Celia was so very beautiful!! How tragic that she ended up with an arrogant green eyed monster. Thank you again for such a great story. I LOVE your work!! 😊❤

Such Beautiful young people, if only their paths had never crossed. BUT however handsome and intelligent he was, 13 years incarnation wasn't long enough, and as for being allowed to marry whilst serving his sentence......he Did have the option of just leaving Celia....😢😞🙏🏼❤️⚖️

Oh dear, it is a burden to be beautiful and she certainly was beautiful. What an horrific end for this poor girl. Thank you for these cases and making sure she is not forgotten ❤️

I love listening to the historical backdrops of some of these Brief Cases. It can explain some of the reasons things like this happen. He was so obsessed with her that he killed and dismembered her... Couple that with the fact that he had regrets about leaving his medical studies to be with her, and discovering she too had obsessions with makeup. He probably couldn't keep up with her purchases. They were a beautiful looking couple. So sad it ended like that.

Jealousy is a terrible curse! Almost impossible to control! What a waste of two lives! 😢

He didn't have to quit medical school. He was trying to keep up with her and control her. Poor girl. She was beautiful. He didn't deserve her.

There are 2 channels that are a must view every week for me. "Brief Case" and "Eerie Edinburgh". The way in which they take you on a rich and winding path ofhistory, tragedy, mystery and madness, is brilliant. Another fabulously narrated tale B.C. Thank you.

Bro! We rarely get any cases from Cuba and you cane up with a doozy! And she has this classic timeless beauty that you've shared with us in that gorgeous photo. Heinous senseless crime but you've told it well. Thanks

The sentences handed down for murder tell you precisely what society consider certain lives are worth.

He had only himself to blame for the terrible choices he made.

Obsession rather than love proved to be fatal once again

I was involved with a man who hated the fact that I wear makeup,nice clothes and shoes,it made him act ridiculous,dispite the fact thats exactly how he met me...He ended up trying to take my like one night,all because I like girly things.I never couldve dreamed up something so bizarre as being mad to the point of violence and trying or killing another because of lipgloss and eyeshadow,smh.Ohhh andI forgot to mention me styling my hair,he cut the cord on my curling iron once

Rest in Peace Celia. You were stunningly beautiful.

They were both beautiful people. He could have just left her, found someone else and went back to medical school. I have never understood why people resort to murder!!?? 🤔 I was married for a year to a man that I am sure was cheating on me. I also think he did drugs and drank. I did not do any of that. I kicked him out, got a divorce and never looked back. If I had chose to kill him I would have just ruined my own life!! Not worth it!!

The disgusting nature of the case make it hard for me to celebrate the fact that this is a landmark example of offender reform. Ultimately, he seems to have paid for his crime in realizing he never could. His post prison demeanor suggests he was haunted in some way. I'm torn between two conclusions. Congratulations on rehabilitating yourself to become a useful member of society. Suffer bastard. You know you deserve to.

1. You were going to regret giving up medical school no matter what! So you have no right to blame it on her! 2. Shc was a flirt, flirting is an art. Just because she flirted doesn't mean she was unfaithful and even if she was unfaithful, she doesn't deserve to die for that! You literally threw your life away, what a shame!

Good morning, He is truly blaming the victim for the decisions he made on his own. It sounds to me as if she never asked him to leave school, and he chose to live in a poor area, even though he came from a respectable family who had money. Rene was so obsessed with her that in a strange way it drove him to the point of killing her. It’s almost as if he blames her beauty as an excuse to kill her. She was absolutely stunning. He was quite handsome himself. If his insecurities didn’t get in the way, I think the story would’ve had a much better ending. R.I.P. Celia 🇨🇺 🙏🏽🙏🏽🇨🇺 Thank you for another great mystery. Have a wonderful week. Bless 🇬🇧

Hello!!! This was a very interesting case. He couldn't except that she was a beautiful girl.He wanted no one to look at her. Why does this drive some men crazy??? It sure did him...Great Video!!!...🦋

I love that you've provided the historical background of Cuba and your very accurate pronunciation of Spanish names. Amazing work as always. Keep it up!

This is beyond sad. Tragic. Why would he do this? He could have done the right things, but chose to do the worst wrong. 💔

I love the way you frame the stories. I always learn so much more than just about a crime. Thank you 👍

I hate men like this, the neighbours too! As if being vain, a flirt or illiterate means he had no choice but to murder her. He's pathetic and didn't even get punished adequately.

He was handsome but so cruel !!! ,she was beautiful and kind .Tragic for her .Great presentation ⭐️⭐️🇬🇧Joy xx

He left her head in a latrine…That’s telling of how much he thought of her in the end. 👀

Never ceases to amaze me what people will do to try and cover up their crimes

I enjoy listening to these old time cases. Looking forward for more vids like this 👍🏻 Also his frustration and problem were his own doing. RIP Celia.

That was definitely a "grim solution" by Rene.. this was certainly an interesting case! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Excellent story, really enjoyed it.. Thanks, BC💼👍🤗

A bright good morning. Been years since I was able to be here this early. Settling in for another unique and engaging story. Appreciate your quality and dedication Brief Case.

😪 🌹Celia was quite stunning and Renee as well. Renee's jealousy was toxic as cancer. It slowly starts by controlling Celia wearing less makeup, so not to attract any other possible suitors, that might take Celia away. She was so innocent and loved Renee, that she probably thought his jealousy would go away.. 😢 Unfortunately, what left, was her life.. Why didn't Renee get the death penalty Briefcase? I guess it was considered a crime of passion. Women/men, I don't care how sexy or gifted he or she is, any sign of jealousy, and trying to control your whereabouts, attire, and who's with you, is a sign to sit down, and talk.. Try to manage it and seek outside help, before it gets out of hand. Can't be managed, then it's time to leave ASAP! Find a place that will help, house and protect you and your location. Very importantly, if your partner was ever physically violent to you, report the incident to the police, have it documented. 💼Briefcase, thank for the story.

Another great story. I love the narration and the little bit of history of the town you talk about. Keep 'em coming.

I doubt she told him to leave his medical career.

What a medical Cad. He was lazy and not his relationship that made him quit. Lack of character and immaturity. Guilt aged him.

Beautiful women suffer so much at the hands of those who are jealous. To this day, we hear of the murders of women at the hands of those who "love" them. Love isn't death...also, they "love" women to death. Why? Why kill someone because you love them? I'm sorry, if that's how you express your feelings please don't love me. I prefer loneliness.

Good morning Brief Case. Well jealousy, and resentment unfortunately took the life of one and ruined the life of the other in this case. A very sad story that is only one of many throughout the world, crimes against women. Thank you Brief Case for telling it, and I hope you have an amazing week.

A tragic story beautifully presented. Thank you B.C.

I fail to see with the way her body was found that it was anything remotely close to being an accident I mean it was completely outlandish of him to suggest that it could have been an accident when her body was dissected so how the hell could her death been possibly caused by an accident

BC💼 Soooooo tantalisingly close to 400K! Looking forward to this case from Cuba.. 👍

I look forward to seeing your uploads always. I know it's daft but it's sometimes more shocking when you hear about murder way back when. It's just as gruesome, if not more than the stories you hear about today. The best thing about this channel is you're guaranteed to hear of crimes you hadn't before!! Brilliant as always 👏👍 thanks BC 👍

As always, just in time for bed on my side of the world! Most interesting and relaxing way to wind down.❤ Thank you @brief case.

Great vid, well researched! Love that this man's defense was basically "I accidentally killed her on purpose"

Props to that dentist. Great help for the case at a time before medical records were kept as well as they are now.

This is such a shame. He was obviously too in love to drop out of medical school. Had this been another situation, imagine the Beautiful children they would have had.

What a tragic story told by one of the best KZfaqrs around.. thank you BC always learning something NEW from your channel

Goood Morning Brief Case! 💼 The man was guilty! Despite his protests after his release. He was training as a medical doctor, so I believe it makes him even MORE culpable! He had ample opportunity to help her even tho he caused her harm by hitting her. He didnt get her assistance. Even after he thought she was dead and he stabbed her in the knee with the razor, and she protested. He should have rendered assistance or called for help. He didn't need to kill her or dismember her. The fact he hit her again and then dismembered her and packaged her up neatly and distributed the packages all over Cuba says he is a monster. He had no respect for her even after death. If he had ever loved her, that was not the way to treat her. It seems he had some psychopathy going on there ...with the jealousy and murdering and butchering her. I wonder if he had carried on the charade of her being fine even after her death when her family inquired. Sad that she was so badly decomposed that they had to identify her by her teeth! He was guilty, and haunted by her, I'm sure of it. How is it he lived so long while she was dead is beyond my comprehension. And how he did so little time when he should have rotted in that prison. Sad state of affairs, but he didnt get away with it, as others so often do. He was caught even if the punishment doesn't seem to have fit the crime. Thanks for yet ANOTHER wonderfully presented case, and I hope you have a LOVELY week! (Resa)

This was truly a sad and horrific case of plain jealousy that has no place in a relationship, period! Even though this tragedy happened decades ago these incidents still happen today in 2023, unfortunately. Great investigating, presentation, historical information, backstory, and photos, as always.

75 plus years of age, many a free man, and still speaking of guilt, unrequited-is certainly living haunting days. Not uncommon, just bucket loads more opiates, scripts, booze, Laws and lawyers. Fabulous couple, fabulous Girl, RIP.

People, who are abusive outside of prison, often have excellent, peaceful records inside. No one they can bully. 13 years for murdering a woman he had been abusing for years, with no repercussions, lovely. You are so good!, BC, thank you!

Almost at 400K subs! I’ve been listening to you for about 3yrs now I suppose and I ❤your channel so much!! Continued thanks Crimey!!

Best part of my week makes monday worth it!!! Thank you Briefcase!!!❤

Brief Case, Love your channel. Plus take your time doing these please. Your fans can wait. Sounds like you have a bit of a cold and or a bit-tired Thanks so much for your crime videos that take us back in time. ❤❤

I appreciate the care you take in researching the details and also, your delivery and respect.

Thank you Brief case!

Great forgotten true crime brought back by Brief Case ! Well Done 👍🏼 ☮️

Excellent job my man! With your well placed visuals and just enough historical background that you provide is really setting your channel apart. This was a great segment.

Another great video, Brief Case. I appreciate the excellent research, time and hard work you take to bring these old cases, most I’ve never heard of, to us each week. I always look forward to the next video, thank you very much.

As ever romantic delusions, obsessiveness and insecurity make for an often mortal cocktail. At least, that miserable felt genuinely guilty until his last breath and didn't fall back on criminality despite of Cuba's tumultuous years... In a way, he physically left the prison but the prison never left his mind.

You never fail at delivering great stories. Too bad it's another week until the next one. Thank you, BC, for keeping me entertained. ❤️🇨🇦

Thank you, BC, for another informative and gripping case!

Thanks for sharing! What a great story, to young people and ended up tragic.👍

What a shame that such a beautiful young women would come to such a horrible end. Jealousy is such an ugly emotion Thank you BC for a very interesting story. I hope that beautiful young lady is resting in peace and I hope that her family was able to forgive what was done to her. In order to go on with their lives

Always interesting. Thank you Peace

What a wonderfully researched video. I'm really impressed. Let me add, Celia was an absolutely stunning woman. How sad that her life ended so soon. Of all the men she had to meet, she ended up meeting her murderer. Sometimes we are born under a tragic star.

So tragic… Thanks for setting the scene (culturally and historically).

Another great story! We appreciate you!

Celia was very beautiful. Rene was very handsome as well. Great story Brief Case. Thank you 🙂

Thank you BC for another fascinating video
