The president of the Supreme Court of Justice, Daniel Espinosa Licón, informed that the intermediate hearing of the five subjects related to the discovery of two burnt bodies in a brick factory in Lagos de Moreno in August of last year, which was scheduled for September 12, was postponed due to the resignation of the defense attorney.

They are Valentin, Enhau, Emmanuel, Celestino and Rogelio, known as “Comandante Roy”, who face the crime of forced disappearance, in addition to being investigated for their possible relationship with the disappearance of five young people on August 11, 2023 in Lagos de Moreno, and that so far their participation in this event has not been confirmed.

“There are five detainees, the private defense resigned, the intermediate hearing was scheduled for September 12, that is to say, the hearing in which the parties come to debate on what evidence will be presented in trial, but with the resignation of the private defense, a public defender was appointed and in that sense, he will ask for an extension of the term to be imposed on the file”.

The president of the Supreme Court of Justice emphasized that so far it has not been possible to link the subjects with the disappearance of Uriel Galvan, Dante Cedillo, Jaime Adolfo Martinez, Diego Alberto Lara and Roberto Olmeda, because Forensic Sciences still does not have the genetic results of the bodies located in the brickyard to confirm or rule out that these bodies correspond to any of the five boys.

“Precisely not them as victims, because in these cases the victims are not identified as victims, because we do not have the name and because we do not have the results of the DNA test”.

Valentín, Enhau, Emmanuel, Celestino and Rogelio, were detained in different events by agents of the State Prosecutor's Office.

On September 2, agents from the State Prosecutor's Office captured Valentin, 51, in the town of La Estanzuela, in Teuchitlan.

On September 6, the Enhau and Emmanuel brothers were arrested in the state of Queretaro.

On Monday, October 2, agents from the State Prosecutor's Office captured Rogelio M, and on Wednesday, October 4, Celestino M. was arrested.

Kidnapping Victims Forced To Kill Each Other by Alleged MZ Hitmen

"HEARST" for Borderland Beat


Cartel hitmen abducted a group of five male friends from Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco.  A new video shows that one of the five men was forced (by his kidnappers) to kill the other four victims. 


Text on the video seems to imply that Mayo Zambada hitmen were the perpetrators, although some media outlets claim it was CJNG hitmen. 




The Disappearance


On Friday, August 11, 2023, a group of five friends traveled to the Lagos de Moreno look out point at Mirador de la Santa Cruz (correction 8/17: Mirador San Miguel) where they planned to meet up with a man.
