“We killed the children because they saw us”; Authors of the Tultepec massacre confess
Tultepec, Mex.- The Rikis were drugged when they entered Doña Rosa’s house and riddled her with her two daughters and four grandchildren, when they were only going for Jonathan, because “the children saw us,” the detainees affirmed, revealed authorities of the Attorney General of the State of Mexico (FGJEM).
In total, there are nine detainees, prosecutors confirmed, following the murder of a family in the early hours of April 11 in the La Cañada neighborhood, led by Ricky Ángel, 30, and Jonathan Iván, nicknamed Güero Simpson, 32. ; Victor Manuel, 53; Juan Jesús or Juan José, 22; Jorge Antonio, 32; Neri Dayami, 21; José Luis, 23, and two minors.
The detainees live both in Tultepec and in the neighboring municipality of Melchor Ocampo, in the border area where the murder of women, girls and a boy occurred.
Of them, at least six participated directly in the multi-homicide, since there is evidence that three motorcycles with two subjects on each arrived at the house located in closed Mazahua, that is, there were six aggressors, said FGJEM authorities. .
Before entering the home, the detainees consumed drugs “to the limit”, for which they acted very drugged and argued that the girls and the boy had seen them, for which they also riddled them, reported authorities from the Mexican prosecutor’s office.
However, it will be in the next few hours when the Public Ministry and a judge will decide if there are elements to link the nine detainees for the murder of the La Cañada family, although all of them might be linked for crimes once morest health, for the drug that they were wearing when they were arrested, state prosecutors said.
Ricky Ángel, who would have ordered the execution, is a “very violent” young man, who also had arrest warrants for two homicides that occurred in 2021, they added.
The Rikis are an emerging gang of drug dealers who operated in Tultepec, Tultitlán, Melchor Ocampo, Cuautitlán and Zumpango, who in theory did not handle large volumes of drugs, used small arms in violent assaults and would have acted in a bloody manner by executing eight people, they detailed.
