Femicide sentencing in Panama and Mexico

Overview

Legal proceedings in Panama and Mexico have resulted in significant prison sentences for femicide cases.

In Pocrí, Panama, Olivares Cortez, a 27-year-old man, was sentenced to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to the October 2025 killing of his 21-year-old former partner, Selinda Córdoba. The attack occurred in a local park where Cortez used a knife against Córdoba; she died while being transported to the Hospital Rafael Estévez. Investigations indicated that Córdoba had previously reported feeling threatened by the defendant on social media following their breakup. The court also imposed a 10-year prohibition on carrying knives or firearms following his release.

In Cancún, Mexico, a court sentenced three individuals—Ángel Abad Adame, Felipe González Magaña, and Suri Ivett Rodríguez Juárez—to 37 years and six months in prison. The defendants were found responsible for the May 2024 murder and disposal of a woman's body following a dispute over a vehicle.
