A federal judge and his wife were murdered in their Colima city home on Tuesday morning, federal authorities said.

Uriel Villegas Ortiz, who handled drug trafficking and other organized crime cases, and Verónica Barajas were shot and killed in front of their two daughters, aged 3 and 7, and a domestic worker.

The gunmen fled the murder scene and remain at large. Upon arrival at the judge’s rented home, the murderers feigned interest in a pickup truck he was selling him before opening fire, the newspaper Reforma reported .
For the record, the son for whom this “revenge attack” occurred was extradited to the USA, his name or nickname being “El Menchito” versus that of his father “El Mencho”, the biggest drug lord in Mexico currently. So, in an indirect way, this relates to the US.

Another unspeakable crime from Mexico and yes, we have our problems too.

Decent people trying to do the right thing. May their souls rest in peace. May their children emulate their parents.
