No unified title possible for disparate events

In Aguascalientes, Mexico, a 10-year-old girl was defrauded of 180,000 pesos after a scammer convinced her via telephone that her mother owed a debt. Following the perpetrator's instructions, the child located the cash in her grandmother's home and handed it to a driver requested through a digital platform. Authorities identified José Carlos ‘N’ as a participant in receiving the funds. A judge has ordered him to face trial for fraud and imposed preventive prison as a precautionary measure.

In Caracas, Venezuela, a 58-year-old man has received a 23-year prison sentence for the 2021 murder of his 84-year-old neighbor. The victim was attacked after refusing to lend the man 20 dollars. The perpetrator, reportedly under the influence of drugs, attempted to asphyxiate the woman and struck her chest, causing her death. He subsequently hid her body in an underground water tank. The sentence was finalized by the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice.
