Kidnappers kill Mexican child with acid injection

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Mexico City's top prosecutor says kidnappers killed a 5-year-old boy by injecting him with acid after his family sought police help.

Attorney General Miguel Mancera says assailants injected acid into the boy's heart and buried him on a hill outside the capital.

Mancera's office says in a statement that the boy was abducted Oct. 26 from a street market in a poor neighborhood and was killed three days later.

Police say a taxi driver unknowingly drove a kidnapper and the child from the market to a house. The driver later saw the boy on a TV announcement seeking information and returned to the market to alert the boy's parents.

Five suspected kidnapers have been arrested. Mancera confirmed the killing Monday.

The news coming out of Mexico is absolutely monstrous!

America is no saint when it comes to crimes, but the things going on in Mexico are off the charts! This is our future if we fail to secure our borders and fully reverse illegal immigration. This kind of savagery is now welling up inside of America due to illegal immigration and the criminal types that are involved with it.

Freaking animals

<sigh> If there is any comfort at all which can be found in what happened to that poor little boy, it's knowing that he's now someplace safe, beautiful, and far away from the hell that's Mexico.

These kidnappers are worse than animals!
I hope they get lined up agaist a brick wall.

I read this article to my husband, and i was very upset, and he said that the little guy had to have died just about instantly.

It's no comfort to even me, really, so I cannot even fathom the mother's feelings.

and to me this is what these fine upstanding candiates for president, are endorsing as to leaving the borders open, when 85% of the AMERICAN citizens want enforcement and the borders closed.
This AMERICAN, wants borders closed and laws enforced, I am appaled that this can just go on.
GOD BLESS our SHERIFF JOE here in Phoenix, AZ.

These kidnappers are worse than animals!
I hope they get lined up agaist a brick wall.

From what I see and hear.....that's their compassionate side showing. It disgusts me to no end.

this is totally absurd.

and there is still no travel advisory to this third world parasite country

MEXICO CITY - Kidnappers killed a 5-year-old boy by injecting him with acid after his family sought police help — a new low even for Mexico's brutal kidnapping gangs.

Mexico City Attorney General Miguel Mancera said Monday that assailants injected the acid into the boy's heart and buried him on a hill outside the capital — a death that showed the plague of kidnappings for ransom afflicts the working class as well as the wealthy.

A kidnapper seized the child at a street market in the gritty borough of Iztapalapa on Oct. 26 and the boy was killed three days later, Mancera's office said in a statement.

Prosecutors said kidnapper hailed a taxi to carry the child to a house in neighboring Mexico State. The taxi driver later saw the boy's image on a television announcement seeking information on the kidnapping and returned to the market to alert the child's parents.

Police were looking for boy
Authorities said the kidnappers asked for 30,000 pesos ($23,000) in ransom but killed the child after hearing police were looking for the boy.

Anti-kidnapping prosecutor Juan Maya told Reforma newspaper that the abductors knew the boy's parents, who he said are street vendors in Iztapalapa, but spokespeople for the agency could not immediately confirm that on Monday.

Mancera said five suspected kidnappers, including a 17-year-old, have been arrested.

The child's death recalled the recent kidnap and slaying of Fernando Marti, the 14-year-old son of a sporting goods magnate whose death prompted a national outcry against crime.

Young Marti's decomposing body was found in the trunk of a car even though his family reportedly paid a ransom. Prosecutors said a federal lawman was part of the gang that kidnapped Marti.

Outrage over that case prompted more than 100,000 people to march through Mexico City in August to demand an end to endemic police corruption and rising crime.

Some call for capital punishment
On Monday, dozens of people left messages on Reforma's Web site expressing outrage at the 5-year-old's death. Some called for Mexico to reinstate capital punishment.

"They should definitely give the death penalty to these people, who have no conscience," wrote a man who identified himself as Eric Aguilar of Mexico City. "Keeping them alive only guarantees a hidden danger for the rest of society."

Mexico has one of the world's highest kidnapping rates, according to the anti-violence group IKV Pax Christi. Kidnappings are up 9 percent this year and average 65 per month nationwide, according to the federal Attorney General's Office, which blames a growing web of drug cartels, current and former police officers and informants who point out potentially lucrative victims.

Most kidnappings go unreported for fear of police involvement. The nonprofit Citizens' Institute for Crime Studies estimates the real kidnapping rate to be more than 500 per month.
