Mexico City court sentences two men to 40 years for Polanco murders

Two men, identified as Atzin “N” and Moisés “N”, have been sentenced to 40 years in prison each for the qualified homicide of two men in the Polanco neighborhood of the Miguel Hidalgo borough in Mexico City.

The victims, aged 72 and 49, were brothers-in-law involved in real estate. According to the Prosecutor's Office, the men were beaten and strangled during a meeting on December 20, 2024, that was originally intended for professional purposes. Their bodies were later discovered inside a parked vehicle at a residence.

A third suspect, Ricardo “N”, is currently facing legal proceedings after being extradited from the United States following an INTERPOL red notice. Investigators used C5 surveillance footage and digital analysis to reconstruct the suspects' escape route and identify the vehicles used in the crime.
