“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
The bodies of a man and a woman were found dead Saturday afternoon on the Iguala-Taxco federal highway, near the town of Mexcaltepec.
The two victims were handcuffed and showed signs of torture and gunshot wounds.
The discovery occurred around 4:00 p.m. on the side of the federal highway, where elements from various police forces and personnel from the FGE went to.
After the discovery, it was confirmed that the two victims are the ones who appeared in a video posted on social networks, where they are kidnapped and surrounded by men carrying long weapons and military clothing.
In the video, the man and the woman claim to belong to a criminal group and to have participated in different criminal acts in Taxco, such as homicides and extortion.
Good afternoon citizens of Taxco. We’re here today just to inform and clarify some things. As I mentioned before I’m going to provide you some proof. Today I’m going to show you the evidence so that the citizens can disprove that all the bad things, all the deeds that were done there in Taxco, all of those crimes were being blamed on us. We don’t commit any of those crimes here.
We are not allowed to kill, to steal, to kidnap, or to pressure people. We are a big enterprise and we are La Familia Michoacana. Just so you know we are the mob of Don Pescado (Johnny Hurtado Olascoaga) and Don Fresa (José Alfredo Hurtado Olascoaga).
Here is the evidence that I said I was going to show you. Everything has been demonstrated with facts, not just words. Our enemies will always spin their own narratives. But here lies the proof so that no one is deceived.
