About San Antonio Tecómitl

On 23 November 2004, three plainclothes Federal Preventative Police (PFP) officers, Cristóbal Bonilla Martín, Edgar Moreno Nolasco, and Víctor Mireles Barrera, were lynched in San Juan Ixtayopan, Tláhuac, a borough of Mexico City, after they were accused of kidnapping two children from a local elementary school.

Read more Moreno was eventually extracted by riot police and sent to the hospital, where he remained in a coma for around a month; Mireles and Bonilla were both killed, with their bodies being doused in gasoline and set alight. The next day, at least 32 people were arrested in an operation by the Federal Investigations Agency. The lynching was almost uniformly condemned, sparking discussion concerning Mexico's justice system and vigilantism. Criticism was especially levied at law enforcement's sluggish response to the incident, resulting in the dismissal of several high-ranking officials, including Marcelo Ebrard, then Mexico City's chief of police.
