“I started screaming like crazy and in the distance I heard a woman’s voice. ‘Tell me that’s my daughter who’s talking,’ I told her. She told me:
‘No, ma’am, I’m at the prosecutor’s office and they’re talking to me. “My mother shot him,” he added.
The explanation of the delay
According to the mother, her son-in-law justified the delay due to the baby’s situation.
“Thinking that if they detained him, the baby was going to go to a foster home. He worried about recording videos so that they would know how to feed (the minor) while he was going to be absent doing all the paperwork. That’s what he told me,” he said.
SHOCKED WITH THE COLDNESS AND CRAZYNESS of the MOTHER-IN-LAW, the behavior of the HUSBAND and the tranquility of CARO’s MOTHER giving interviews. Instead of being in CDMX claiming the body of his daughter, or his grandson. 😔
