On the afternoon of Wednesday, June 17, 2026, personnel from the National Guard and the State of Mexico\u2019s Security Secretariat discovered two clandestine graves in the Valle de Los Venados area within La Marquesa, located in the municipality of Ocoyoacac.<\/p>\n
The State Attorney General\u2019s Office reported that four bodies were found buried less than a meter deep. These remains belong to foreign nationals who had been reported missing since May 20, 2026.<\/p>\n
Among the victims are Zafar Padamsee Mawani and Guillermo Jafett Hidalgo Ortiz, a couple of U.S. origin who lived in Huixquilucan. They were last seen on May 20, 2026, after visiting a working-class neighborhood in Tlalpan borough to close a business deal. Following that day, they disappeared without a trace.<\/p>\n
Journalistic sources indicate that unusual activity was detected on their bank accounts the day after their disappearance, including transfers and movements now under investigation by authorities.<\/p>\n
The graves were found just meters away from cabins rented by local community members in La Marquesa, available for daily or hourly use.<\/p>\n
In the second grave, two more bodies were discovered, identified as Kenyan nationals, though their identities have not yet been disclosed.<\/p>\n
The site remains secured by authorities as the State Attorney General\u2019s Office continues investigations to determine what happened and who rented the cabins in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
This tragic discovery highlights ongoing challenges in ensuring safety and justice in areas surrounding Mexico City. As urban and rural spaces intersect, innovative and inclusive public policies\u2014including improved transportation and community engagement\u2014can play a role in fostering safer environments for all residents and visitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
