María was murdered by her partner following an argument. The Tlaxcala Attorney General's Office has launched an investigation for "qualified homicide".
A man of approximately 40 years old took the life of a transgender woman, who was revealed to be his romantic partner, after an alleged argument at his home in the San Sebastián neighborhood, in Huamantla.
The 911 emergency service received the report at around 5:00 a.m. yesterday. The person on the phone reported that there were two injured people inside a house in the “La Giralda” subdivision, one of them unconscious.
When the emergency services arrived, they were able to confirm that both people were on the ground, half naked, and there was blood; a transgender woman had died and had injuries to her head and face; the man was lying on the side with a wound to the chest, but did not require transfer to the hospital.
Municipal police officers also arrived and cordoned off the area and arrested the man as a suspected suspect. Later, in his first statements, he said that “some voices inside him” told him to kill his partner. At the time of his arrest, the subject showed an aggressive and disoriented attitude, saying that they had consumed toxic substances, specifically fentanyl, so this could be the reason for his behavior.
