A young mother of three named Rosita was allegedly beaten to death by her partner after an argument. The 25-year-old woman was found on Wednesday, May 7, in her backyard by her father, showing evident signs of violence. Despite paramedics' attempts to save her, it was confirmed that she no longer had vital signs. The Police secured the scene and informed the State Attorney General.
Relatives and neighbors of Rosita reported that the young woman suffered constant physical assaults from her ex-partner, some so severe that they left her unconscious. Despite having distanced herself from the relationship and living close to her family, Rosita had previously reported her abuser for mistreatment. Witnesses claimed that on Monday, May 5, she was beaten after an argument with her ex-partner.
Rosita's children have been placed under the protection of authorities while their situation is resolved. Neighbors of the victim expressed their dismay at the feminicide and demanded justice for her and her children. Rosita's alleged murderer has been arrested, and investigations are underway to clarify the case.
In a related case, Perla Citlali, another victim of feminicide in Querétaro, was also brutally murdered by her ex-boyfriend in her office. The collective Fem Abogadas expressed outrage at the normalization of violence and demanded support for Rosita's family. Feminist groups held protests to call for justice and awareness of gender violence in the area.
Rosita's feminicide has shocked the community, and it is expected that authorities will conduct a thorough investigation to ensure that it does not go unpunished. The groups demand justice for the young mother and that her case be treated for what it is, a tragic feminicide that left three children without a mother.
