REYNOSA — Authorities from the proxy’s office in Tamaulipas (PME) continued looking for those responsible for an attack against a female resident of Reynosa, who had her hands severed after being beaten.
The 40-year-old victim, Maria Amalia Salazar Garcia, is originally from Monterrey, N.L., Mexico. She was abandoned on the edges of the Rhode canal, on the outskirts of the Jacinto Lopez colonia.
A man walking in the area found Salazar Garcia semi-nude, without hands and bathed in blood because of the brutal aggression.
Paramedics took Maria Amalia to the Hospital General.
As of Tuesday afternoon, she was still in a very delicate state in intensive therapy, according to La Frontera’s Rosalbo Cazares.
Hospital authorities did not permit reporter entrance, and they would not identify the victim’s family in the hospital.
Public Cabinet Agent Rúben Arredondo, who is coordinating the investigation, is waiting to see if the woman can or wants to say what happened. "As a matter of fact, only she knows the truth about the subjects that attacked her in excessively savage form," he told reporters.
The only reports the police have are that Maria Amalia Salazar was a prostitute and she worked in the nightlife center "La Central."
Salazar entered a vehicle Sunday night before she disappeared, said a friend and fellow prostitute of the victim who did not want to be identified, to protect her safety.
"She climbed into the car and left, but that’s normal, because that’s what she always does," her friend said.
PME’s head Sergio Ulibarri Reyes said the victim gave a telephone number of one of her family members in Monterrey, but her brother, who was not identified by the police, said "they (the family) had not known their sister after many years" and they thought she was with her husband.
It seems the Mexican border cities are growing aggressive and homicidal against females.
The past week two women were murdered. A 13-year-old girl identified as Wendy Dianey Hernandez was found strangled inside a plastic bag. Her mother, Leonor Sanchez, said her daughter had been in the United States before her murder. Sanchez, in an interview with La Frontera, asked the Tamaulipas police to get to the bottom of her daughter’s death and said these crimes cannot go unpunished.
Apparently, another resident of Nuevo Laredo, Tamps., Mexico, was murdered by gunfire in a new civil war.
These events are reminiscent of the innumerable murdered females in the Juarez, Chih., area, said Leticia Pérez in an interview outside the Hospital General.
The murders cause fear in the mothers of families in this border city of Reynosa, she said. "In the insecurity we have, these things happen, we already have fear to go out," she said.
If you're gonna play....you're gonna pay.
"She may indeed, but don't expect her to applaud."
Bad - Since she is a prostitute, I guess she won't be giving anyone "clap" either?
Seriously, I wonder if these events are actually caused by American perverts that go to Mexico to carry out their perversions?
Uh huh,
No one deserves this kind of treatment.
Personal repsonsiblity remember? She is still a victim, and the creature who did this is a monster.
Man. Ugly.
"She is still a victim, and the creature who did this is a monster."
Absolutely, please excuse my previous "gallows humor."
Visit Beautiful Mexico, Hands off your Best Vacation Value!
For anyone who has not been to Juarez, Ojinaga, Reynosa, Nuevo Laredo, or Piedra Negras in teh last decade or two it is an eye opening experience. If you get off the "established tourist paths" ( which I did for my job )you are taking a great risk. The barrios have become a breeding ground for all those that walk on all fours or slither.
It is really horrid.
I'm guessing this kind of monstery wasn't done for fun...it was done as punishment. I suspect the woman crossed the wrong people, and they cut off her hands as a matter of policy. That sort of brutality isn't uncommon among the drug cartels, for instance.
I agree that the person who could do something like this should be destroyed...but this woman was a prostitute and willingly got into a car...with a stranger who turned out to be a madman. I just don't have THAT much sympathy for her...but find that monster!
spending time in "spelling prison" would be comparable NO??
Fair enough. It isn't about sympathy.
We just need to be careful that we don't come up with a value system for crimes.
"Butcher hooker= 5 years"
"Butcher trial lawyer= 7 years"
"Butcher nun= life without parole"
The UN might want him to head up the Human Rights Commission as director. Hold off on the prosecution for now.
"Butcher trial lawyer= 7 years"
Shouldn't that be months instead of years?
Why Mexico doesn't have perverts of its own?
This case was just featured on American Justice. After the man was finally relocated to Florida, he killed another woman in his home. He is now on death row there, eating up the FL taxpayers money.
Pretty soon, we are going to have to put the parole boards in prison, as they are a grave danger to society.
"This was an unprovoked, senseless killing of a human being," said state Judge Bob Mitcham. "We are living in times worse than Sodom and Gomorrah."
Not quite yet, Judge.
Do you by any chance believe a prostitute cannot be raped???? Just asking.
