Four female students murdered in seven months at the University of Morelos, where Claudia Tacoronte was studying
Authorities are investigating the femicide of the young Spanish woman, who was on an exchange program in Mexico, while the previous murders of Kimberly Ramos, Karol Toledo, and Michelle Fuentes remain unsolved
Four female students were murdered at the University of Morelos within a span of seven months, where Claudia Tacoronte, a Spanish exchange student, was also killed. The first victim, Kimberly, was an accounting student who disappeared and was later found dead in an industrial area of Cuernavaca. Her classmates protested heavily.
Shortly after, Karol, a nursing student, vanished and was found dead just before International Women’s Day. The terror surrounding the university was palpable, with students chanting, "We didn't know studying could cost you your life." In May, Michelle, a 15-year-old high school student, disappeared from the same institution and was also found dead.
Although Mexico has a long history of femicide, these murders have recently resurfaced, highlighting the ongoing issue.
