Cuatro alumnas asesinadas en siete meses en la Universidad de Morelos donde estudiaba Claudia Tacoronte
La Fiscalía investiga el feminicidio de la joven española, que estaba de intercambio en México, sin haber resuelto los crímenes anteriores de Kimberly Ramos, Karol Toledo y Michelle Fuentes
In the university city of Cuernavaca, located in the heart of Mexico, four female students have been murdered within the span of seven months. This grim pattern of femicide is not uncommon in Mexico, but it often fades from public memory.
The latest victim to fall prey to this violence is Claudia Tacoronte, a Spanish exchange student studying in Morelos. She was scheduled to return from an event on medicinal plants the very night her life was cut short. The other three victims, Kimberly, Karol, and Michelle, were also slain in quick succession, all within the same university, the Autonomous University of the State of Morelos (UAEM).
The bodies were discovered shortly before March 8th, International Women's Day, sending shockwaves through the university community. The students protested in solidarity, declaring, "We didn't know that studying could cost you your life." Despite extensive investigations, in May, 15-year-old Michelle, a high school student, disappeared and was later found lifeless.
This grim reality highlights the ongoing issue of femicide in Mexico, a problem that persists despite widespread scrutiny.
