A Mexican activist who led protests against the unsolved killings of hundreds of women in Ciudad Juarez has herself been murdered.

Susana Chavez was found strangled and with one hand cut off in Ciudad Juarez last week, but has only now been identified.

Ms Chavez tried to draw attention to the killing of mainly poor women in the border town in the 1990s.

Officials say her murder was not related to her activism.

1. Not related to her activism?

Sooooo they caught the person responsible? Confession of intent already? Someone that just collects hands, or what?

2. Nail meets hammer. Her pursuit of justice is nothing less than heroic.

The statement that her death is not related to her activism underlines this heroim because activists don't get police/state protection. Mexico is a narco state controlled by thugs. Americans who think Mexicans sneaking across the border seeking to escape that hellhole is the biggest problem Mexico poses to America don't know dick.

4. 6 years ago when i lived in El Paso hey said 700 to 800 young women miss'n or dead in Juarez, she

had substantial proof from women who escaped.. that the government and the Cartels were abducting "Good" young girls from poor families to be used as sex slaves.. or party favors for VIPs to rape then they got to kill them.

the story was that the cartel and government leaders were afraid of getting AIDS from prostitutes so they kidnapped "Good" young girls for sex from the under classes who culturally protected their children.

Susana Chavez is a great Hero.. all that is good will suffer from her loss..

7. Movie "Bordertown" was in Juarez

What you described was in a movie that is now showing on HBO, or one of those cable movie channels. It was quite gruesome.
