The two American women who were discovered dead in Mexico last Saturday were tortured shortly before they were killed.
28-year-old Yulizsa Ramírez and Nohemí Medina Martínez were a married couple from Texas who were visiting their family in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.
Last Monday, both women, who were mothers to three children, were found dead at two locations some 17 miles apart.
As the authorities have since confirmed, both ladies were tortured before being shot dead and dismembered. The body parts of one of them were found in a trash bag near Jesus Carranza village. The body of the other was disposed of in the neighborhood of San Agustín.
The suspects behind the gruesome murders have yet to be identified and arrested by the police.
As the director of the Chihuahua Committee for Sexual Diversity warned, however, there is a concern that the “authorities will absolutely do nothing.”
“We feel like we are treated like second-class citizens and that we really don’t matter,” Karen Arvizo said.
On Monday, following just two days after the shocking discovery, the authorities in Ciudad Juárez confirmed that two other women were found dead in the city that is known as one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
While both of the women were also tortured and shot, the authorities have yet to confirm whether the cases are connected to the murders of the two Americans.
As Ciudad Juárez DA Jesús Carrasco revealed, however, the majority of killings in the city are due to gang activity.
“We don’t see the big cartels as active or active in the city, but we do see the gangs.
We do see these groups or small cells that separated from the gangs, that generated new groups and there could be a series of conditions between them that could be generating these intentional deaths,” the district attorney said.
