Authorities in Yucatán have arrested Mario H. C., the suspected perpetrator of a double homicide and femicide in the Tamanché district. The suspect was apprehended by agents of the Secretaría de Seguridad Pública (SSP) on Tuesday.
Investigations suggest the motive was robbery. The victim couple had recently acquired funds from a land sale, and the suspect allegedly owed a significant amount of money due to drug addiction. Reports indicate the suspect may have pre-planned the crime by telling his sisters he was taking his parents to the beach to visit relatives on the morning of the murders.
Mario H. C. faces potential charges of homicide, femicide, and aggravated robbery with violence. He is being held pending a judicial hearing as the Fiscalía General del Estado continues to compile evidence.
