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.
That and Chief Justice Bird letting a man go back for retrial (because a prosecutor had read his diary about how much he loved raping and smothering a baby) shocked a heck of a lot of people. People woke up to how liberals viewed justice. Liberals seemed to think that only hate crimes deserved jail time.
"Sonora's Death Row" by Robert Earl Keen is a great song with the same theme.
Sounds like the Muslims are in there. That is a favorite of their's when they catch someone stealing.
"Why Mexico doesn't have perverts of its own?"
Everyplace does. However, for someone with money (Americans) that wants to do something kinky - wouldn't Mexico be an ideal place to pull something? You can pay off the police, etc. If you have money, you can literally get away with murder.
How about:
butcher trial lawyer=one get out of jail free card...
That's him! He died in prison, I believe. What a sorry piece of work he was. Good riddance.
"I'm not a Dr., but I do drive by 2 Holiday Inns everyday."
LOL!
You've GOT to be kidding me. You actually think it's HER fault that she was beaten to a pulp and had her hands cut off?? I'd hate to see you on the jury for this trial.
And SO WHAT that she was a prostitute? What in the HELL does that have to do with her being brutalized and chopped up and left to die??
Exactly what glass house are YOU living in that you think it's ok to judge her??
You may THINK you blame the "monster" who did this to her, but you had a choice about what words you typed to this forum after you read the story -- and you chose NOT to comment on the "monster." Instead, you chose to comment on the VICTIM's behavior before she was mutilated. And only after people gave you sh*t did you find the strength to type something about the "monster."
Comments and thoughts like yours make me sick.
I was surprised too that she is still living. When a person slits their wrists they don't last long - let alone no hands ... OMG!
Same here. I just may throw up soon.

Why state the obvious? Waste of bandwidth.
usually people do not bleed out from transverse cuts at the wrist. If the cuts are angled, there is a real probability of bleed out. Clotting is sufficient to impede the flow of blood through smaller low pressure arteries distant from the heart.
By contrast, the large artery in the upper arm is quite large, and with a single cut there the victim will usually bleed out in less than 5 minutes.
