Authorities are searching for a dangerous individual following a tragic incident where a young child was abducted, and her mother and grandmother were fatally assaulted.
In Cuautitlán, Mexico, shocked family members entered a residence yesterday to find Cindy de Jesús, 25, and her mother Teresita, 52, deceased on the floor, while a distressed six-year-old child was confined in the bathroom.
Meanwhile, three-year-old Erika Camila was reported missing, leading to a large-scale search for Antonio ‘N’, the presumed perpetrator of the murders and the abduction of his biological daughter.
Early this morning, law enforcement officers discovered Erika at a nearby residence in Tultepec, approximately three miles away, but Antonio had already fled the scene.
As of yesterday evening, Antonio remained at large. Cuautitlán’s Mayor, Juana Carrillo Luna, assured that the three-year-old girl was under the care of authorities.
Investigators suspect that a hammer, found at the crime scene, was the weapon used by Antonio to fatally beat Cindy and Teresita, evident from the blunt force trauma observed on their bodies. Additionally, the family’s pet chihuahua was found deceased nearby, and several items were reported missing.
Rafael Tavera Guadarrama, Teresita’s brother, recounted that he received a distress call from his sister in the United States, prompting him to check on their mother after failed attempts to reach her.
Describing the harrowing discovery, he stated, “Upon arriving, we were met with a gruesome scene. We refrained from disturbing anything and immediately contacted the authorities.”
He further expressed that the young boy, locked in a room, disclosed, “My dad is a bad person, he killed my mom.” Rafael emphasized the vulnerability of his disabled sister, mentioning that she lacked the ability to defend herself against such violence.
According to Rafael, Teresita had previously alerted authorities about Antonio’s abusive behavior, citing an incident where Erika sustained serious injuries to her femur. Despite the report, the case was closed after Cindy claimed it was an accident.
