Influencer Saskia Niño de Rivera has surprised everyone by revealing that she knows Juana Barraza, better known as the serial killer 'Mataviejitas', with whom she has established a close relationship to the point of participating in the criminal's wedding. Saskia hosts the podcast Penitencia, where she has contact with people deprived of their liberty, including perpetrators of various crimes, among them Juana Barraza.
Niño de Rivera highlighted that she has had conversations with Barraza without detailing the content of their talks, but mentioned that she attended the serial killer's wedding in 2015. This union took place in the Santa Martha Acatitla prison, where Barraza's husband, Miguel Ángel Quiroz, was serving a sentence for robbery and murder.
The nuptial ceremony was made possible thanks to the 'Lazos en reclusión' program and included the presence of Saskia Niño de Rivera, who served as wedding godmother, along with 49 other inmates in the Ciudad de México prison. The relationship between Juana Barraza and Araceli Vázquez, both incarcerated in Santa Martha, prompted Saskia to recall the conflict between the two criminals.
Juana Barraza was sentenced to 759 years in prison for committing seven murders of elderly women and 12 robberies in Ciudad de México. On the other hand, Araceli Vázquez, arrested for similar crimes, has not had her involvement in such offenses confirmed, which generated tensions between the two inmates. Saskia Niño de Rivera revealed that the rivalry between Barraza and Vázquez has intensified in prison, and emphasized her prior relationship with Araceli, who collaborated with her foundation working with children in incarceration.
