"This analysis indicates that, up to now, the bone fragments found may possibly be those of 17 people," the statement said.Īuthorities have not released the full name of the 72-year-old suspect under Mexican laws protecting a suspect's identity. "The bones fragments are being subjected to 'lateralization' studies, which include carefully cleaning each one, identifying what part of the body they are and then placing them in their anatomical position, providing a method for determining the approximate number of victims," the office said in a statement. That could make sense: the suspect, identified by prosecutors only as "Andrés," was formerly a butcher and in fact sectioned and filleted his last victim. The number of bone fragments found underneath concrete floors at the suspect's home would imply the corpses may have been hacked into tiny pieces. ID cards and other possessions from people who disappeared years ago were found at the junk-filled home, suggesting the trail of killings may go back years. They now plan to extend the search to the soil beneath several other rooms he rented out on the same property. In excavations carried out since May 17, authorities have dug up the floors of the house where the suspect lived. Prosecutors in the State of Mexico, which borders Mexico City, suggested the grisly finds may not end there. MEXICO CITY - Investigators digging under the house of a suspected serial killer on the outskirts of Mexico City said Saturday they have found 3,787 bone fragments so far, apparently belonging to 17 different victims. Police have turned up bones and other evidence under the floor of the house where a man was arrested for allegedly stabbing a woman to death and hacking up her body. Police mark a security perimeter around the house where bones were found under the floor in the Atizapan municipality of the State of Mexico, on May 20, 2021.
