Ciudad Juarez women still being tortured by killers | World | Chron.com - Houston Chro... - 0 views

  •  
    Esmeralda's partially clothed body was found in the cotton field's irrigation ditch eight days later, along with those of the two other women. Her pants removed and blouse and bra pulled up to her neck, Esmeralda was lying face up in the ditch, hands tied behind her back. Part of Esmeralda's right breast had been hacked away, the nipple of the other sliced off. The body was badly decomposed. The Inter-American Court found that Esmeralda and the two other girls had disappeared separately and had been held in captivity before being murdered. All three likely were raped and tortured by their captors for an unknown number of days, the court said. "The treatment they experienced during the time they remained kidnapped before their death caused them, at the very least, severe mental suffering," the court stated in its ruling, adding that Mexican officials deprived Esmeralda and the others of "the rights to life, personal integrity and personal liberty." Encouraged not to view Esmeralda's body, Monreal identified her daughter by the clothes police said she was wearing, including her socks. But even as she buried her daughter, positive identification had not been conclusive - not until four years later - when an Argentine forensics crew confirmed the murdered girl's identity with DNA testing. More bodies, same field The body of Laura Berenice Ramos, 17, a third-year high school student, also was found that day; she hadn't been heard from since calling a friend to say she was heading to a Saturday night party. Her breast also was mutilated and skin had been torn from her body. The third woman was Claudia Ivette Gonzalez, 20, who on the day she vanished had been sent home from her factory job after arriving two minutes late. She, too, had been tortured, one of her arms severed. Soon after, searchers recovered the remains of five more women in another corner of the field. They had been dead much longer; the killing had been going on for some time. Within three days

    HELENDALE * Investigators believe the murder of an elderly Helendale man last December is linked to cockfighting and gambling, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department officials said. While Homicide detectives would not say Jesus Rocha, 68, was holding illegal cockfights on his 10-acre property, authorities do believe he is involved in the criminal sport in some way. "It's gambling and sometimes people lose large amounts of money and that creates problems between individuals and groups of people," Cindy Beavers, spokeswoman for the Sheriff's Department, said. "In this case someone lost their life."

  •  
    Caravaggio, who somehow found time to paint when he wasn't brawling, scandalizing pooh-bahs, chasing women (and men), murdering a tennis opponent with a dagger to the groin, fleeing police assassins or getting his face mutilated by one of his many enemies, has bumped him from his perch.
