The alleged murderer of the woman found in a suitcase in Puerto Vallarta was arrested

On August 6, the body of a woman was found inside a suitcase, among a pile of garbage on the corner of Antonio J. Hernández and Zacatecas extension streets of the Primero de Mayo neighborhood, in Puerto Vallarta.

The authorities were alerted by an emergency call to 911, made by a neighbor in the area who reported the suitcase in the dump and which seemed suspicious to her. The security elements arrived at the site quickly and upon opening the briefcase they found human remains, the body was mutilated and the woman had been decapitated, the head was wrapped in rags and placed in the suitcase.

At the moment there is no information on the identity of the victim, however, the Jalisco Attorney General’s Office has already taken the case to carry out the pertinent investigations under the femicide protocol.

One day after they found the woman, the authorities reported that the alleged perpetrator of femicide had already been arrested. The man was captured while he was wandering down the street and crying out for forgiveness for having killed the woman, a crime he claimed he had committed.
