Investigators digging under the house of a suspected serial killer on the outskirts of Mexico City said Saturday they have found 3,787 bone fragments so far, apparently belonging to 17 different victims.
Police walk outside the house where bones were found under the floor in the Atizapan municipality in Mexico, on May 20, 2021.MEXICO CITY —
The number of bone fragments found underneath concrete floors at the suspect’s home would imply the corpses may have been hacked into tiny pieces. That could make sense: the suspect, identified by prosecutors only as “Andrés,” was formerly a butcher and in fact sectioned and filleted his last victim.
Authorities have not released the full name of the 72-year-old suspect under Mexican laws protecting a suspect’s identity. The police officer gained access to police surveillance cameras showing his wife had entered, but not left, the street where the suspect lived; the policeman went to the home, confronted the suspect, and found his wife’s hacked-up body inside.
