Prosecutors expand investigation into murder of searching mother and her son in Tlajomulco

The Jalisco State Attorney General's Office reported that it has expanded its investigation into the murder of a woman and her son, which occurred this week in the municipality of Tlajomulco de Zúñiga. According to the authority, three possible lines of investigation are being analyzed, one of which is linked to the victim's work as a member of a group searching for missing persons.

Since the beginning of the investigation, the case has been approached from a gender perspective, in compliance with the protocol for investigating the crime of femicide, in order to determine whether gender-based factors were involved in the woman's murder.
