A 19-year-old man, armed with a rifle and allegedly carrying his sister’s severed head, was apprehended in Mexico, according to local reports. The shocking incident occurred in Quiroga, a town in the state of Michoacán, where bystanders alerted the state police after witnessing the horrifying scene on Saturday.
The suspect, known only as Sebastián, was reportedly seen near a local clinic, holding the decapitated head of his 26-year-old sister, Julieta. The state police responded promptly, arresting the seemingly inebriated man without any complications. The report, citing the state prosecutor’s office, also mentioned the confiscation of the rifle Sebastián was carrying.
In a nearby gas station, several hundred feet away from the arrest site, the authorities discovered Julieta’s lifeless body. The gruesome discovery has left the local community in shock and the authorities are currently investigating the possible motives behind this horrifying act.
While the suspect is in custody, no immediate information was available regarding the charges he might face. The case is being handled by the Michoacán state prosecutor’s office.
This horrific incident is a stark reminder of the increasing violence against women in Mexico. It bears a chilling resemblance to another incident that occurred in October 2022, where a man named Lev Norman was arrested for allegedly carrying the severed head of Lucero Yazmin Hidalgo in his backpack.
The authorities are under pressure to address these violent crimes and ensure justice for the victims. As the investigation continues, the community of Quiroga and the entire nation wait for answers and justice for Julieta.
