In a grim uncovering, authorities in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez were directed by an anonymous tip-off to a distressing find at a crematorium, where they discovered 383 bodies and the partial remains of six additional individuals.
According to statements made on Monday by Chihuahua state prosecutor César Jáuregui, these remains have been held at the site for at least three to four years. He remarked on the unsettling situation, noting, “Who knows what the ulterior motive of these subjects was, because storing that number also makes you think they weren’t providing the service.” This puzzling stockpile raises questions about the crematorium’s operations and intentions.
The facility, which collaborated with six different funeral homes in Ciudad Juarez, became the focus of an investigation after this shocking revelation was made last Thursday. As authorities delve deeper into the reasons behind the accumulation of so many bodies, they remain baffled about the purpose behind such actions at the crematorium.
In the wake of these findings, law enforcement officials have taken decisive action by arresting the owner of the crematorium as well as an employee. The investigation continues as they seek to understand the full scope and implications of these activities.
