A man has been arrested in northern Mexico for allegedly beating his three children in order to return to the children’s mother
MEXICO CITY – A man has been arrested in northern Mexico for allegedly beating his three children in order to return the children’s mother, prosecutors said Sunday.
The prosecutor’s office in the state of Sonora, in the north, said that on Sunday the boys were 3, 7 and 8 years old. The deaths occurred in the north-central state of Hidalgo on January 2. done and the grandfather called the police.
The suspect apparently fled to Sonora, but was quickly arrested there and returned to Hidalgo to face charges.
Prosecutors said the man argued with the boys’ mother and killed the children “to cause her great pain.”
“Apparently, in revenge for his wife, he killed his children,” the office said in a statement.
