The tragic finale of the case, which has been reported by the media around the world for several days. Six women who disappeared on March 7 in the city of Celaya in central Mexico were murdered. Prosecutors said on Friday that investigators had identified the charred remains of five of them, but police have no doubt that the sixth victim was also murdered.
High-risk place. Here the cartels are fighting for influence
Prosecutor Carlos Zmarripa said that 14 suspects were detained in the case, with weapons and drugs found. The police are trying to determine the motive of the brutal crime and its course.
The women ranged from 19 to 48 years old. Their remains were found 30 km from the city of Celaya, where they were last seen. The state of Guanajuato, where Celaya is located, is an area that for years has been the site of bloody, brutal scores between the Santa Rosa de Lima cartels and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. Criminal groups fight for influence and profits from drug trafficking and stolen fuel.
The bones were first burned and then ground
Police technicians are examining the details of the case, analyzing the evidence and trying to identify more burnt bone fragments. Prosecutor Carlos Zmarripa told the media that hundreds of bone fragments were found, which were first burned and then ground. As the prosecutor explained, this is a typical method of drug cartels.
Mexico has been one of the most dangerous places in the world for years. For years, the country has been swept by a wave of violence associated with the bloody activities of drug cartels and other criminal groups. According to official data, in 2022 alone, 31,936 homicides were recorded in Mexico, of which 3,754 were women.
