Five National Guard agents were arrested for their alleged responsibility in the massacre of two babies and four women in León, Guanajuato, reported President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Asked about the progress of the case, the President said that the elements are in the custody of the Secretariat of National Defense and assured that there will be no impunity.
“I can tell you that there are three members of the…, five members of the National Guard detained, but this corresponds to the regulations of the Armed Forces.
“The investigation that the Prosecutor’s Office is carrying out is missing,” he said in his morning conference from the National Palace.
-What authority has them in their custody?, he was asked.
“The Secretary of Defense,” he responded.
Do you already know why they went?…
“No, I don’t want to advance anything until we have the entire investigation. Just tell you that there is no impunity for anyone in this Government,” he said.
Last Tuesday, the President confirmed the presence of the national guards at the site of the massacre, but asked to wait for the investigations and questioned the local government’s version after the dissemination of videos that showed fragments of what happened.
The attack occurred on Sunday night, June 9, in a neighborhood of the popular Industrial Colony, minutes after National Guard agents left the home.
According to a security recording, five elements of the federal corporation entered the place at 9:10 p.m., and seven minutes later, at 9:17 p.m., they left the house, while one of them carried a black bag.
Five minutes later, at 9:22 p.m., the cameras captured the arrival of four men aboard a van who entered the neighborhood of Pénjamo Street and committed the crime.
Four women, a one-year-old child and a three-month-old baby died at the scene.
Diego Sinhue Rodríguez Vallejo, Governor of Guanajuato, demanded that the participation of the National Guard in the case be clarified, since the uniformed men even supposedly stole some belongings and then left.
Two days after the crime, President López Obrador reproached the PAN member for having accused the National Guard agents directly with preliminary reports.
In addition, he suggested misuse of information and the creation of a narrative to affect the federal corporation.
This morning, López Obrador barely addressed the case at the end of his morning and did not specify the crime or the charges to justify the arrest of the elements.
