After the woman was recently sentenced to six years and two months in prison, the responsible judge has now closed the criminal case at the request of the prosecutor’s office, local media reported Tuesday (local time). The next of kin of the deceased can still appeal.
Prosecutors re-examined the case and decided to drop the charges. The 23-year-old was found guilty on May 15 of using excessive force to defend herself against her rapist in 2021. Accordingly, the woman first knocked the perpetrator unconscious, then strangled him and finally tried to dismember the body. She kept the body for at least 20 hours and then took it out onto the street in a plastic bag.
The single mother from the southern state of Oaxaca, who was supported by women’s organizations, was detained for nine months before being released pending trial. (sda/dpa)
