The Tirado brothers, well known in

Mexico

, were last seen in the Roma neighborhood on December 16, in the heart of the Mexican capital.

Two days later, they were found dead.

Both had been beheaded.

Next to their corpses was that of his uncle.

As the days go by, more is known about this strange murder and those involved in it.

Omar García, head of the Citizen Security Secretariat, confirmed last Monday that three people had been arrested in connection with the murder of Andrés and Jorge Tirado (actor and musician, aged 27 and 35 respectively) and their uncle, José González, of 73.

The corpses were bound hand and foot and showed signs of torture.

They were in a warehouse, they had been beaten and suffocated.

In the days that followed, at least one other man and one other woman have been arrested in a case that has shocked the music world in Mexico, where both brothers were known.

One of the first lines of investigation was that of

a violent robbery

.

Later, it was thought that the first detainees, who respond to the names of Blanca, Sally and Azuher (mother, daughter and son-in-law) had hired a

group of hitmen

to commit the crime.

These three people were arrested after, after appearing as witnesses before the police, they fell into repeated contradictions in their interrogations.

Now it is believed that the origin of the murder is a family fight over a property in the Roma Norte neighborhood and that

all those involved knew each other.

In fact, when the police found the bodies of the brothers and their uncle, they also found

Margarita María Ochoa, González's wife, in another room in the same building.

she was alive.

The Prosecutor's Office believes that she had not been attacked because the suspects wanted her to give them her house, which is both the scene and motive for the crime.

Thus, according to various Mexican media,

Margarita was the sister of the former owner,

who had died months before.

Blanca (the first detainee) had taken care of this man and, after her death, she tried to keep the house, claiming that she and the deceased were a couple.

At the same time, Margarita and José González had moved into the house a few months before.

His nephews had moved with them shortly after, and, after this terrible crime, they are seen as

collateral victims of a fight over a house

, with a value close to four million pesos (about 200,000 euros) for the place where they It is: Roma Norte, one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the Mexican capital.

Victims and suspects lived in the house, on different floors.

They had reached that agreement until it was clear who owned the house.

Margarita Ochoa, the victim's family, wanted to sell it, while Blanca, the victim's caretaker, was opposed and wanted to keep it.

The police believe that up to

9 people may have participated in the kidnapping and subsequent crime

of the Tirado brothers and their uncle.

To do this, he would have analyzed both the mobile phones of the detainees, where he found conversations related to the events, and the video surveillance systems in the area.

In addition, Margarita, a survivor of the violent event, would also have reported the kidnapping and how the detainees would have stolen their bank cards.
