Women Murdered In Topilejo, CDMX, Could Be Foreigners; No One Has Claimed Them

CDMX authorities are investigating the discovery of two women murdered in Tlalpan, who could be foreigners. The victims are not registered as missing.

CDMX authorities investigate the discovery of two murdered and burned women in San Miguel Topilejo, Tlalpan.

Following the case of the two women who were found dead with signs of torture and severe burns in San Miguel Topilejo, Tlalpan, south of Mexico City (CDMX), authorities suspect that the victims could be foreigners, as a deposit slip found at the scene suggests links to international transactions, particularly between the United States and Central America.

Ulises Lara, head of the Mexico City District Attorney’s Office, confirmed that both women had gunshot wounds. According to Lara, after the discovery of the bodies, agents of the Investigative Police (PDI) searched the wooded area and nearby homes for possible witnesses. Recordings from C5 cameras near the crime scene are also being analyzed.

At the scene of the discovery, experts found a bank deposit slip that matches those used to transfer money from the United States to Central America and the Caribbean. This has led authorities to consider the possibility that the victims are not Mexican.

Characteristics of the victims

The victims have not yet been identified, and do not appear in the records of missing persons in Mexico City or in other prosecutors’ offices in central Mexico, according to the Prosecutor’s Office for Investigation and Search for Persons (FIPEDE).

Both women had tattoos, which could be key to their identification.

One of the women, approximately 25 years old, had third-degree burns over 90% of her body, while the second victim, around 20 years old, had burns over 70% of her body.

So far, no one has claimed the bodies, which remain at the Institute of Forensic Sciences. Although it was initially speculated that they could be partners of drug dealers in the area, this was ruled out by journalist Antonio Nieto on his social networks. Authorities continue to investigate to determine the identity of the victims and the motive of the crime.
