Abraham Torres Tranquilino, the second detainee for the Narvarte killings case, admitted that he is an addict and began to use cannabis while in federal prison.
In a statement before a judge, Torres Tranquilino expressed that while he was an active police officer he never used drugs, but during his nine months in prison he became addicted to cannabis and began to consume it on a regular basis.
According to Ricardo Muñoz, an expert from the National Institute of Criminal Sciences (INACIPE), this demonstrates the shortcomings of the prison system since according to their data, in 2014 only 3% of those who go to prison return to society properly rehabilitated.
Tranquilino Torres also said that he met Colombian Milé Virginia in a discotheque in 2014. The young woman was one of the victims of the multiple homicide in Narvarte.
He added that she introduced him to Daniel Pacheco Gutiérrez, one of his accomplices, a year ago. Paradoxically, he claimed to have had a good relationship with Milé and even provided her with attention after a breast surgery.
He also claimed that during the evening of the killings, he met at the apartment of Milé with his accomplices allegedly to work on her computer and didn't know that someone else was in the place, where they arrived in order to steal drugs under pressure from the Zetas cartel.
Torres explained that the first detainee, Daniel Pacheco, told him that the third suspect involved in the case, who has been identified by his first name only, Omar, belonged to this criminal organization and that Milé had picked a shipment of cocaine from Mexico City International Airport.
He reiterated that he was not involved in the killings because he remained on the stairs.
Torres explained that minutes after the crime and escaping in a red mustang, policemen stopped them on Río Churubusco Avenue because "Omar" was not wearing the seat belt. However, the policemen let them go even though they showed nervousness and there was blood on the shoes of the third suspect.
