Four suspects responsible for the murder of Judge Roberto Elias Martínez have been arrested; the orders were given from inside a Zacatecas prison.
The State Peacebuilding Roundtable reported that the case of the judge’s murder was investigated and they were able to find the probable masterminds and material perpetrators.
During a press conference, the State Attorney General of Justice (FGJEZ), Francisco Murillo Ruíseco, explained that two men, José Julían and/or Ángel Said, were the ones who attacked the judge.
They were receiving orders from two brothers who are incarcerated at the Social Reinsertion Center (Cerereso), Marco Antonio and/or José Isabel and Fernando.
The first men are being investigated as alleged co-perpetrators of the murder, while the brothers are accused of planning the murder.
All of them are accused of the aggravated homicide of control judge Roberto Elías Martínez, in events that occurred on December 3.
The four alleged assailants were placed at the disposition of another control judge who will later determine whether they are guilty or not.
Why the homicide?
The prosecutor explained that one of those who gave the order for the attack against the judge is incarcerated in the Cerereso of Río Grande, where Elías Martínez worked.
It is suspected that the alleged aggressors could have been against some judicial act made by the judge or that he had denied them some request.
