The
murders take place close to the Mexican American
boarder where the money is. Criminals supply the young
girls for the depraved so that they may do the unspeakable.
Perhaps there should also be an investigation in the
United States. |
Killings continue!
The case of the murdered women of Ciudad Juarez has caused
widespread outrage.
Despite several federal and state investigations, the
authorities have been unable to identify the killers or establish a motive
behind the murders.
Dozens of suspects have been arrested over the years, but
the deaths still continue.
Drug-related killings and sex slavery are among the lines
of investigation being
pursued.
Only last Thursday, more remains were found in the northern
border town. The Mexican police are investigating whether they are the
bodies of two women recently reported missing.
The remains were found in the backyard of a house allegedly
used as the site of satanic rituals.
'Outrageous violence'
The Juarez killings have also come to the attention of
Mexico's First Lady Martha Sahagun de Fox.
Speaking at Monday's unveiling of the new federal "Life
Without Violence" programme at the Mexico City
offices of the
Appeals
for information have so far failed to produce many
leads...Could
it be possible, the Mexican government is involved in some way? |
Interior Ministry, she called the killings the country's most
outrageous example of violence against women.
She said investigators should do more to catch those
responsible for the violence in the town, just across the border from El
Paso, Texas.
But Rosario Robles, head of the opposition Democratic
Revolution Party, blamed President Fox's government for not doing more to
stem the killings.
The investigation required "real political will from
the federal government in order to truly solve these killings," Mr
Robles said.
