Rafael Andres Gets Death Sentence Again | Miami News

Sixty-two-year-old Rafael Andres is once again sentenced to death for the 2005 murder of Yvette Farinas, a waitress he brutally attacked, stabbed, strangled, and set on fire — a crime that’s sparked renewed anguish for her family, including the son of another victim Andres killed decades earlier. After a previous death sentence was overturned, a jury recommended death again, and the judge agreed. Andres’ violent history — including a 1987 stabbing that landed him in prison for only 18 months — underscored the gravity of his actions. This sentence marks the first time in over a decade that a Miami-Dade inmate has been sent to death row, sealing a long and harrowing legal journey.
