A six-year-old girl was allegedly r.a.p.e.d and strangled to death by her own grandparents during the Covid-19 lockdown. The youngster's parents tragically thought the little girl would be safer at her grandparents home in Chihuahua, Northern Mexico, as they no longer worked, so wouldn't be mixing with others during the period of isolation.
She had lived with the couple identified as Miguel Angel Z. and Guadalupe M.P for 10 days before she died.
They called emergency services to inform them of their granddaughter’s death, claiming she had a high fever for many days as well as other symptoms associated with the virus.
Police officers on the scene confirmed that the girl had passed away and they began tests to establish whether she had died of Covid-19.
The results of the Covid-19 test have not yet been released by the local authorities.
However, autopsy results established that the girl had died of strangulation and had signs of s3xual abuse, according to local media.
The grandparents were subsequently arrested and are set to appear before a judge facing homicide and rape charges.
The grandfather is suspected of s3xually abusing the six-year-old, according to reports.
The investigation is ongoing.
Mexico is currently under lockdown, but all essential businesses like grocers and pharmacists are also closed.
