Mexico City Prosecutor Confirms Suspected Serial Killer of Women

Mexico City prosecutor Ulises Lara has confirmed that Miguel "N", a 39-year-old chemist and pharmacobiological chemist, is a suspected serial killer of women. A search of Miguel's apartment in the Iztacalco neighborhood revealed disturbing evidence, including human skulls, blood stains, tools, chemicals, women's clothing, and identification cards belonging to missing women.

Authorities are now investigating whether Miguel "N" may be linked to as many as 20 femicides. A comprehensive diary found in his possession suggests he thoroughly documented his crimes. The investigation is ongoing to determine the identities of the possible victims and shed light on additional cases of femicides he may have committed in Mexico City.

Why this matters: The arrest of Miguel "N" and the gruesome discoveries in his apartment have sent shockwaves through Mexico City, highlighting the urgent need to address the persistent problem of violence against women. This case emphasizes the importance of thorough investigations and the pursuit of justice for victims and their families.

Miguel "N", who was employed at a local hospital, had a social media presence where he posted about protecting women's rights. However, a neighbor has claimed that Miguel may have been involved in the disappearance of a friend who lived with him back in 2015.

In a related development, Mexico City authorities have also arrested 39-year-old biologist Miguel Cortés, who is suspected of being a serial killer of women as well. On Tuesday, Cortés allegedly raped and murdered his 17-year-old neighbor, María José, and stabbed her mother, Cassandra, when she returned home. A search of Cortés' apartment revealed seven human craniums and human remains, further linking him to the murders of multiple women.

Prosecutor Ulises Lara stated, "The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are looking into the possibility that Cortés may have dismembered the bodies of his victims." Law enforcement officials are working diligently to uncover the full extent of both Miguel "N" and Miguel Cortés' alleged crimes and bring justice to the victims and their families.
