After five days of searching, Liliana Guadalupe, a 12-year-old girl who sold candy and chips to help her family, was found dead and with signs of violence in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas.
Yesterday, the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) reported the discovery of a body in the Colón neighborhood, in the capital of Chiapas and after being identified by the Forensic Medical Service, the family confirmed that it was “La Güerita” or “La Güera”, as she was called by acquaintances and loved ones.
“Unfortunately we could not return you alive Lupita, but we returned you home. May God forgive the person who took your life, my güera,” posted Iris Marroquín, the victim’s aunt.
Liliana was found in the backyard of a house, after searches carried out in the neighborhood where there were traces of her. According to local sources, a finger was sticking out of the ground, and that is how the body was discovered.
Victor Jose Carrera Mayor lived in that house with his grandparents. He is a subject identified as violent by his neighbors, who spread threats captured on video on social networks.
The FGE of Chiapas released his name and photograph this Thursday around 2:00 p.m., pointing him out as a probable participant in the crime of femicide and offered a reward of 500 thousand pesos to anyone who provides effective and reliable information that contributes to his location.
The Amber Alert in Chiapas was activated after relatives reported that Liliana did not return home on October 19.
Relatives and feminist collectives spread her photograph on social networks and asked for clues about her whereabouts.
The girl’s mother walked through various streets of Tuxtla Gutierrez and posted signs with her search card. During her pilgrimage, she obtained videos from a security camera in which she could see her daughter walking down 7a Norte Street, where she disappeared.
With this information, she urged the authorities to reinforce security and investigations in that area, stating that the cameras did not see Liliana leave.
Neighbors, feminists and family members demand justice from the authorities, since this is the 27th femicide so far this year in Chiapas.
The Commission for Access to a Life Free of Violence for Women of the feminist collective 50 plus 1, accused that in the entity there is a lack of public policies to prevent violence against women, and stressed that the discovery was achieved primarily through the family’s own investigations.
“Femicides do not cease, cruel and brutal violence against women and children does not decrease in Chiapas; the case of Liliana Guadalupe shows the worrying spiral of violence in which women and children are involved. The case outrages us, we demand justice and that work be done now on an effective strategy to reduce gender violence in its many forms,” she demanded.
“Not with girls! Children are not to be touched!” she added.
