A married lesbian couple from Texas was tortured and shot dead before their bodies were dismembered and left in two garbage bags…
The women have been identified as Nohemí Medina Martínez and Yulizsa Ramírez, both aged 28, of El Paso, according to the Chihuahua State Office of the Attorney General.
The bags containing their bodies were found about 17 miles apart from each other on a stretch of Juárez-El Porvenir Road Sunday morning, January 16 on streets in the Mexican border town of Ciudad Juárez.
One of the bodies was in the San Agustín neighborhood and the other was found at the entrance of the Jesus Carranza village in what police believe to be a homophobic fueled crime.
Mexican newspaper El Diario reported that they were visiting family members in Ciudad Juárez but the family members last saw the couple on Saturday.
It is still unclear how long the couple had been in Mexico. The two were Mexican citizens but lived in Texas.
