Mexico is still in a state of shock after the killing of a young woman, last Thursday, in a brutal manner in Mexico, and the media released pictures of her body, prompting the government to start investigations into the incident.
Ingrid Escamela, 25, was killed last weekend by her husband in their apartment in the capital.
The authorities indicated that the killer Eric Francisco stabbed the young woman, cut her into parts and ripped out members of her body before throwing her in the apartment toilet.
This brutal crime has sparked outrage in Mexico, with murders targeting women increasing.
Several daily newspapers in the capital published the news along with the mutilated body pictures, which sparked protests and anger.
The government announced that investigations were ongoing, and that forensic doctors and police officers had been present at the crime scene suspected of being behind the leaking of pictures from the crime scene.
The Ministry of the Interior said in a statement that "there are limits to freedom of expression and access to information, the most prominent of which is not to prejudice the dignity of victims, especially victims of gender-based violence."
The ministry said in a statement itself that the investigations into the publication of the photos began upon instructions from Mexican President Andres Manuel Luber Obrador, who requested that great attention be paid to "the responsibilities and legal consequences of these acts".
The Ministry also raised the possibility of accusing the media that published the photos and punishing them. She called on all media and social media "to avoid publishing images related to women’s murders or any other crime, which may be" a glorification of these crimes. "
It is noteworthy that Mexico recorded about 1006 murders of women in the year 2019, according to official figures, which experts say may be the highest ever.
