In one of his blankets, the family man asks López Obrador for justice and assures that the death of his son was a “homicide covered by the Yucatan Prosecutor’s Office.”
The man reiterated that he risked his life traveling more than 1,340 kilometers from Chetumal to Mexico City and that his objective is to continue fighting to clarify the “murder of his son” and to end the abuse of power.
He recalled that the Yucatán Prosecutor’s Office closed the case “without investigating anything” and accused Celia Rivas Rodríguez, a former Yucatán prosecutor, of being the one who “concealed the murder.” “She lives off corruption, she feeds on impunity,” he added.

The facts
In July 2011, the young José Felipe Castillo Tzec was found dead hanging from a tree in Valladolid, for which the State Attorney General’s Office classified the death as a suicide.
However, his parents demanded the investigation to be clarified since they assure that the due protocol was not carried out during the removal of the corpse nor was a criminalistics expert opinion made.
“9 years ago my youngest son José Felipe Castillo Tzec was murdered… I have not found justice; the Yucatecan Prosecutor’s Office on the orders of the former governor Ivonne Ortega Pacheco covered up this infanticide to give protection to criminals linked to organized crime ”, Marco Castillo explained in one of his banners.
Previous protests
It is not the first time that the Yucatecan has gone to Mexico City to demand justice for the death of his son. In 2012, he chained himself in front of the offices of the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) for three days together with his wife María Rosario Tzec Canul and his son Marco
Antonio Castillo Tzec.
In August 2015, Marco Castillo went on a hunger strike for 100 days also at the CNDH facilities.
