Killing follows discovery of woman found stabbed to death and skinned earlier this month

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.A woman joins a march against gender violence in Tijuana, Mexico, Saturday, Feb. 15, 2020. The demonstration comes after last week's vicious murder of Ingrid Escamilla, who was mutilated and murdered, in a case that has come to personify outrage over the rising incidence of gender-related killings.

Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum personally accompanied the girl’s mother during the legal paperwork involved in filing charges and picking up the girl’s body. “We are going to accompany the family, and justice must be done,” Sheinbaum said. “She could have been found alive, but nobody paid attention to us,” said Sonia López, the girl’s aunt. López also said there had been long-standing questions about the mother’s ability to care for her children, but that city health and family welfare agencies had not helped them.

Indignation grew after some local media published horrific photos of the skinned corpse, apparently leaked by city police officers. The killings have proved a politically difficult issue for President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who said protests over the killings were an attempt to distract attention from his social programs.

Look at the progressives indoctrinating little girls into corporate serfdom! I'm glad that they're not with a family that would brainwash them with bible nonsense! Actually this PR puff piece is also disgusting due to its racism. Blacks don't shop at Target but they can work there? Disgusting! I'm happy for her.
