An armed commando murdered a 5-year-old boy, his 18-year-old sister and left another 15-year-old brother dying in the municipality of Huimanguillo, Tabasco.

The massacre occurred on Thursday morning, although the news transcended Friday afternoon and was confirmed by local authorities at night.

According to the first investigations and testimonies of neighbors, gunmen stormed a house in the Gilberto Flores Muñoz neighborhood, in Huimanguillo, in search of a young man allegedly involved in drug trafficking.

When they did not find him, they beat a woman and tortured and murdered her 5-year-old son Moses, whom they left tied.

They then took the daughter Marisol, 18, and the other son, Jesús Ramón, 15.

Hours later, the girl was found dead, half-naked and bagged near the train track of the Villa Estación Chontalpa.

Near her, inside a pool, her brother Jesús Ramón was found seriously injured.

Until noon this Saturday, no authority had officially reported this crime.

Huimanguillo, adjacent to Veracruz, as well as the municipalities of Centro (capital of this capital) and Cárdenas, are the three most violent municipalities in the state.
