Culiacán, Sin.- A woman who until now has not been identified by the authorities was found violently dead with two toads tied to the neck on the sidewalk of an avenue in the San Luis subdivision.

The victim was on Ramón López Velarde avenue that connects to the old toll booth on the Benito Juárez highway, near channel 7. She was found face up, with the two amphibians tied with an orange rope.

This is the 30th femicide victim so far in 2019. So far in August there have been 3 women who have been killed in Sinaloa.

It was at 7:40 am on Tuesday when authorities received the report of the finding. People who passed through the site very early observed the body on public roads and gave notice by phone.

Nice find. I wonder what's the significance of those poor toads being wrapped round her neck.

Edit: Here's a translation from an article, that would explain it:

From an article dated 13th August 2019:

Sinaloa (CDS) was found in a state of decomposition, the corpse of a woman who had two live toads tied around her neck, who were struggling to free themselves.

Being an unusual scene, hypotheses immediately arose as to why the killer or killers had placed amphibians around their necks, one of which refers to the fact that informants are colloquially called “toads”, which is why the young man perhaps spoke of more.

At the scene of the scene recorded in the municipality of Culiacán in Sinaloa, personnel from the State Prosecutor's Office arrived to initiate the investigation, and although according to reports on the perimeter, no casings were found, nor were there signs of violence, however, a few yards from the body. They found traces of blood, which made it speculate that the victim was taken out of a car and then dragged to where she was abandoned and where the toads were placed.

Of what there was no doubt is that the woman received the so-called coup de grace as she presented a shot in the head at the level of the eyebrows. The body was taken to the local morgue, where they performed the examinations that Mexican law dictates where the body is expected to be identified.



According to local media, the murder of the woman with toads tied to the neck is not the first to be recorded in the area controlled by the cartel led by Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, since on July 31, the body was located of a man with traces of torture, shooting and with two toads placed on his chest, also in Culiacán.

According to the urban dictionary "being a toad" means that a person likes gossip and that he usually meddles in the affairs of others. She is also the one who watches others carefully and then gives away what they do and say.

Article from 15th August 2019:

"Give it to God," a woman whispered in 'B's mom, then gave her a big hug.

A few steps away was the brown coffin, where the body of the 19-year-old girl lay, who was found murdered last Tuesday morning under a tabachin tree, located on a ridge of the Valles del Sol subdivision, of this capital city.

While a family from Villa Juárez, Navolato union, was enveloped by pain and doubt; For the authorities, 'B' was part of the feminicide statistics. She became the 30th victim so far this year. His body was veiled yesterday in a neighborhood of Villa Juárez, in the patio of the family home where he lived many happy moments.

According to family members, 'B' really liked to party and hang out with friends, like any young man her age. She was unemployed and could not easily fit into a job because she had studied only up to the fifth grade of primary school.

He regretted not having studied and frequently said that his life would be another if he had a career.

“It was not bad, it was not bad, it was with a good heart, it was a young woman without malice; she was afraid that I would die, and she was the one who died first, ”said her mother, unable to contain her tears.

She dreamed of having a lot of money to cure her mother, who suffers from diabetes, and repeatedly told her that she did not want her to die, without knowing that she would be the one who would go on the road.

With her feet very swollen and her green eyes filled with sadness, her mother received many people who came to offer her condolences. Many did not believe that 'B' was still in that coffin, because she was a young woman full of energy, who should be laughing and enjoying life.

Departure without return

Last Sunday was when family members last saw 'B' alive. She went out with friends, and when the hours passed and she did not return, they sensed that something was wrong. On Tuesday, through social networks, they found out that they had found a murdered young woman. A sister was asked what clothes she was wearing, and it matched that of the young woman in the news.

Her mother inside begged her not to be her, but she also knew that it could be, because she had not returned home.

In the Forensic Medical Service the family confirmed what they feared the most: someone had cruelly ripped 'B's life away. The news of this crime caused a great social commotion because the young woman had two toads left on her neck.
