There are five arrested for the kidnapping and murder of university students in Zacatecas

Zacatecas authorities have arrested five people who would be allegedly responsible for the kidnapping and murder of a group of university friends, who were attacked while returning from a nightclub, but were found murdered days later.

In the search carried out to locate Valeria Landeros Calderón, state agents went to a subdivision of the capital, where they arrested three individuals, after receiving an anonymous report to 911.

The male detainees for the burial of said bodies, as well as for the probable commission of other crimes under federal jurisdiction, will be placed at the disposal of the Jurisdictional Body upon exhausting the constitutional term provided for in article 16 of the Magna Carta to the effect that the Judge of Control decides on your legal situation.

In the processing of the scene they found the buried remains of the student and another young man, who had also been reported missing before the state ministerial authorities, according to prosecutor Francisco Murillo Ruiseco.

Previously, on February 15, the Zacatecas Prosecutor’s Office had arrested two women suspected of the crime of aggravated kidnapping after going to judicial records in a house in the

Escondida community.

Both women were presented before the Control Judge informing them of their rights, as well as the facts for which they are being investigated, and it is in the exercise of those rights, that, with the advice of their defense attorney, they were subject to the term established in article 19 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, and according to it, they are waiting for the Jurisdictional Body to resolve their legal situation.

The five youths were deprived of their liberty in the early hours of February 12, but four of them were found dead in the bed of a van in Genaro Codina two days later, while Valeria’s whereabouts remained without further information until the night and early morning of this February 17 and 18.

Relatives of two detained sisters have said that these are arbitrary seizures, since they are seeking to incriminate them. Before the media and in front of the Plaza de Armas they have stated that one of those identified as suspects was not even in the city when the crime occurred.

According to that version, the 34-year-old woman rents an apartment on the third floor of the building designated as the place where the young people were held.
