CDMX Prosecutor's Office activated femicide protocol for the discovery of the body of a woman in a downtown hotel

The body of a woman, with signs of violence, was found inside a room of a hotel located in the Cuahtemoc City Hall, in Mexico City.

In the early morning, when entering room 209, employees of Hotel Ibiza, located at 22 Ponciano Arriaga Street, in the Tabacalera neighborhood, found the victim after knocking on the door several times and receiving no answer.

The staff of the establishment called emergency numbers and minutes later, officials from the Ministry of Citizen Security came to guard the crime scene, block access to the hotel and confirm the death of the staff of the Attorney General's Office of Mexico City.

The woman's lifeless body was transferred by members of the Forensic Medical Service to the Institute of Forensic Sciences, to perform a necropsy and initiate the corresponding research folder.

FGJCDMX reported that it activated the femicide protocol due to the discovery of the body of the woman who has not yet been identified. “The victim's body was taken to an FGJCDMX amphitheater in the Benito Juárez mayor's office, waiting for a family member to come to identify her,” the prosecutor's office wrote in a statement.

The SSC elements seek to delve into the circumstances surrounding the murder, also whether the time of entry of the person who entered with the woman is recorded and whether one of the two surveillance cameras outside the hotel captured the attacker's face.

He's not the only recent victim in a hotel in the metropolitan area of the Valley of Mexico. On Thursday, January 3, a woman with signs of strangulation was found in a hotel in the Ermita neighborhood, in the mayor's office of Benito Juárez, Mexico City.

The hotel's housekeeping staff when they entered one of the rooms to perform routine cleaning duties and received no response from the guests. The victim was about 35 years old.

During 2022, Mexico City has seen an increase in recorded cases of femicide. It was the Head of Government Claudia Sheinbaum herself who recognized the rise in crime. According to the data provided, from 2019 to December 2021 there was a downward trend of 30%. January and February this changed.

“I don't know whether to call it atypical or not. Rather, let's say things as they are, there was an increase in the number of women who, unfortunately, were killed for a reason of gender,” said the Morenista during a public event last Sunday, February 27.

According to the National Commission to Prevent and Eradicate Violence Against Women, for the homicide of a woman to be classified as femicide it must meet at least one of seven characteristics:

1.- The victim shows signs of sexual violence of any kind.

2.- Infamous or degrading injuries or mutilations have been inflicted on the victim, prior to or after deprivation of life or acts of necrophilia.

3.- There is a history or data of any type of violence in the family, work or school environment, of the active subject against the victim.

4.- There has been a romantic, affective or trusting relationship between the asset and the victim.

5.- There are data that establish that there were threats related to the criminal act, harassment or injury of the active subject against the victim.

6.- The victim was held incommunicado, whatever the time prior to the deprivation of life.

7.- The victim's body is exposed or displayed in a public place.
