The City Attorney's Office (FGJCDMX) activated the femicide protocols in the investigation into the death of Saraí Soto Hernández, the young Venezuelan woman who fell from the eighth floor of an apartment building in the Benito Juárez city hall, on Tuesday morning. .
The agency's authorities revealed that so far they have found no injuries that would presume that he had a fight or a struggle with someone before he rushed from the department.
28-year-old woman, originally from El Chaparro, a small Venezuelan town of just 13,000 inhabitants, located in the Anzoátegui State in the east of that country. According to her friends, she arrived in Mexico City a few years ago, with the idea of working as a model.
After the death of the young woman, the authorities presented her partner to the public ministry. However, the researchers explained that they only have him as a witness.
So far they have found nothing to indicate that he launched it, according to the progress of the file CI-FBJ / BJ-3 / UI-2S / D / 0177 / 06-2020.
While they were taking her to the Prosecutor's Office in Benito Juárez, she gave her data to the agents of the Secretariat of Citizen Security.
He told the police that his name was Juan Jesús Laureles Romero, 39 years old. However, it later became known that his real name is Jesús Francisco Laureles Romero.
And although it was initially reported that he had a criminal record for theft, now it is known that the confusion of the name caused that the background was also confused. He apparently has never been in prison.
Friends of the Venezuelan girl say that her boyfriend mistreated her, intimidated her and had her locked up against her will. However, researchers have found no evidence of this.
Before the authorities, Laureles Romero acknowledged that they had some problems, but explained that it was only because he did not like the job she did. She also told them that Saraí had previously threatened to kill herself.
According to what he said, he is an entrepreneur. But Saraí's friends assure that he is engaged in illegal activities.
For now, the Attorney General's Office expects to have the autopsy protocol this Thursday. So far it seems to indicate that he died from the blow he received after falling from a height of close to 40 meters.
According to the first analyzes, in the department, the authorities did not find traces of any type of fight.
Saraí's boyfriend assured that on Tuesday morning they had an argument. He claimed that after the fight he decided to leave the apartment for a few minutes.
When he returned, he said, he discovered that he had committed suicide by throwing himself from the apartment window.
There are more unknowns than answers regarding the death of Saraí Soto, a Venezuelan woman who lived in Mexico City and died on June 16 when she fell from an eighth floor in the Benito Juárez city hall.
Saraí was 28 years old, an only daughter, originally from El Chaparro, located in the Anzoátegui state in eastern Venezuela.
According to her friends, she arrived in Mexico City a few years ago with the idea of working as a model.
After the expert reports, personnel from the Mexico City Attorney General's Office found no visible signs of violence, but they will continue the investigation to determine what happened.
The first statement that the investigators had was that of Saraí's boyfriend. This is a man named Juan Jesus, 39 years old. Versions of some media indicate that this man would have a criminal record for robbery, including that in 2002 he was imprisoned in the South Prison.
In his first testimonies, he assured that during the morning they had a discussion. According to him, Saraí had previously threatened to kill himself because of the fights they had, but he did not take much of it.
He stated that, after the fight this morning, he decided to leave the apartment they lived in for a few minutes. When he returned, he realized that Saraí had thrown himself from the window.
Elements of the Secretariat of Citizen Security and paramedics arrived at the place to help her but they could no longer do anything to help her since she died instantly after falling approximately 40 meters.
Saraí's body was left lying on the sidewalk of a building located in Cerrada de Tenayuca, Santa Cruz Atoyac neighborhood.
In Mexico City she had no family member. A friend was in charge of identifying her body.
