Investigators discover the stays of 17 our bodies within the alleged serial killer’s dwelling

Investigators have found nearly 4,000 bone fragments that appear to belong to 17 women who were murdered and mutilated by an avowed serial killer.

The Mexican public prosecutor said they found 3,787 fragments under Andrés N.’s house in Atizapán de Zaragoza.

Investigators have been digging up the floors of the house in which the suspect lived since mid-May. There is a possibility that more human remains will be discovered as soil is to be excavated from among several other rooms that Andrés N. has rented on the same property in Atizapán, part of the Mexico City metropolitan area.

According to some media reports, the suspect has admitted to murdering up to 30 women in the past two decades.

At his home, authorities also found women’s belongings such as shoes, makeup, cell phones and voter cards, as well as notebooks with the women’s names on them.

The State Attorney General of Mexico (FGJEM) said in a statement that the bone fragments “will undergo lateralization studies that involve careful cleaning of each one, identifying what part of the body they are, and then placing them in their anatomical position using a method of determining the approximate.” Number of victims. “

“This analysis suggests that the bone fragments found so far may be those of 17 people,” the FGJEM said, adding that experts are studying the fragments to see if DNA can be extracted from them, victims to identify. It also said it was looking at 600 missing person files from the past 30 years.

Andrés N. is in custody and has to answer in court for the murder of 34-year-old Reyna González Amador, the wife of the police commander. The suspect was a family friend of the victim who, according to an Associated Press report, viewed him as a kind of “charity case”.

González went to the man’s house the day she disappeared to pick him up for some shopping. After she did not return home, her husband confronted the suspect and found his wife’s remains in his home. Police intervened to arrest Andrés N., and investigators subsequently found ample evidence of his alleged crimes, including video and audio recordings of his victims and their murders.

If proven to have killed 17 women, the seventy-year-old will become one of the most murderous serial killers ever captured in the Mexico City area, the Reforma newspaper reported.

Juana Barraza Samperio, a former professional wrestler by the name of “La Mataviejitas” (The Little Old Lady Killer), was arrested in 2006 and has been confirmed to have killed 17 women, although she likely killed many more.

Three years ago, Juan Carlos Hernández Bejar and Patricia Martínez Bernal – known as the “Monsters of Ecatepec” – were arrested and convicted of nine femicides, despite the couple suspected of killing around 20 women.
