Fuller picture emerges of suspected serial killer in Mexico

MEXICO CITY -- A fuller picture began to emerge Friday of the apparently affable 72-year-old former butcher who hacked up one woman in the basement of his home, and is suspected of killing many others. The stocky, short suspect has been identified only as “Andrés” under Mexican laws protecting a suspect’s identity. He was ordered to stand trial Thursday in the killing of a 34-year-old woman whose body he allegedly dismembered with a butcher’s hacksaw and knives on May 14. Photographs leaked from the crime scene showed the grisly scene. Photos also emerged of the suspect locking arms with other, smiling members of a local neighborhood political group. He was apparently affable enough to have been elected years ago as a sort of neighborhood representative.
