Eight people are behind bars for their alleged participation in the murder of a man whose body was abandoned in a hole near the Molas community on November 7.
According to a statement, the State Investigative Police (PEI) of the Ministry of Public Security (SSP) and the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) collected and presented to a control judge the evidence that proves the probable responsibility in the facts of the eight individuals.
Five of them are facing criminal proceedings for the crime of aggravated homicide committed in a gang, and three more, including a Honduran woman, for concealment.
The victim, Iván de Jesús P. C., was killed on Saturday 4 in a house in downtown Mérida, where elements of the PEI and the FGE searched.
Iván’s lifeless body was transported in a vehicle to a stretch of road where they dumped it. The Prosecutor’s Office determined that the cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation due to suffocation.
For the crime of qualified homicide committed in a gang, the following are detained: Liborio Israel E.K, alias “Chita”, 29 years old, originally from Mérida; Ronaldo Alonso G. R., alias “Huero” or “Choncho”, 33, native of Escárcega, Campeche. Also Alexis Daniel R. E., alias “Chico Mota”, 19 years old; and Reynaldo Agustín M. C., alias “Cebolla”, 24 years old, both from Mérida; as well as Abraham M. M., alias “Gordo”, 27, from Veracruz. Previously, the five had caused wounds in various parts of their victim’s body.
Detained for the crime of concealment are: Lilian Suyapa P. S., alias “Lili Paz”, 44 years old, originally from Honduras; Luis Miguel C.U. alias “Tamborcito”, 32 years old, originally from Ticul; Luis David T B., 28 years old, from Mérida.
These three people were in charge of cleaning the property on Sunday the 5th in an attempt to erase evidence of the crime, cover the body, and take it in a truck to the place where it was abandoned.
The eight detainees will be placed at the disposal of the control judge who issued the arrest warrants. In the investigations and investigations carried out by investigating agents and prosecutors, citizen collaboration was very important.
