Mexico City mayor accuses state prosecutor of covering up femicide
Reuters - Yesterday 16:05
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The mayor of Mexico City on Monday accused a state prosecutors' office of covering up the killing of a young woman found dead on a Morelos highway last week, after the office reported the 27-year-old had died of alcohol intoxication.
Morelos attorney general Uriel Carmona had told a news conference Friday that an autopsy of the body of Ariadna Lopez showed no evidence of violence, but an investigation by Mexico City prosecutors later .
. . .
According to the second investigation, security footage showed a man who claimed to be Lopez' friend carrying a body from a Mexico City apartment after she disappeared on Oct. 30.
Cyclists found Lopez's body in neighboring Morelos state days later and shared photos online to help identify her.
"In this case it is evident the Morelos prosecutors' office wanted to hide the femicide, presumably because of links with the presumed killer," said Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum. "It was the duty of Morelos' prosecutors' office to carry out the investigation," she said. "Without the intervention from Mexico City, this femicide would have gone unpunished."
