The mother of a 14-month boy and her partner have been charged with parricide, which is murder of a close relative, and aggravated homicide in the boy’s recent death.
The investigation by the Regional Prosecutor’s Office assigned to Chapala found that on December 31, Sofia G., the boy’s mother, and her partner, Marcos Alberto G., were under the influence of narcotics in a home on Hidalgo street in Chapala’s Atotonilquillo neighborhood. The investigation revealed that the child began to cry because he was hungry. The accused hit the child repeatedly and threw him onto the floor. He sustained a skull fracture that caused his death.
When the prosecutor’s office learned of the child’s death, an investigation began that led to a judge approving an arrest warrant against the couple. After evidence was gathered, the mother and her partner went before the judge, who decided to commit them to trial for the crime of parricide and ordered them to serve one year of official preventive detention as a precautionary measure.
